Mouni Roy has publicly recounted a disturbing experience of harassment during a recent live event held in Karnal, Haryana, saying that some members of the audience made her feel uncomfortable and disrespected during her performance. The actress shared her account through a series of posts on her Instagram stories, expressing both shock and disappointment at what occurred.

As she walked towards the stage, several male guests — including elderly men — placed their hands on her waist under the pretext of taking photographs, making her feel uneasy. When she politely asked them to remove their hands, she says she was met with hostility rather than cooperation.

She wrote: “Had an event in Karnal last and I’m disgusted with the behaviour of the guests specially two uncles who are well aged to be grandparents. As the event started and walked towards the stage uncles and family members (all men) put their hands on my waist to click pictures .”

“On stage is even a better story. Two uncles stood right in front, making lewd remarks showing me lewd hand gestures, name-calling. I realised that and first politely gestured to them don’t do it to which they started throwing roses at me. Is when mid performance i walked towards the stage exit but immediately came back to finish my performance. They didn’t stop even after that and no family or organisers moved them from up front,” she wrote.

In her statement, the actress expressed concern not only for herself but also for other women in the industry who might face similar situations. “If someone like me has to go through this I can only imagine what new girls starting to work and do shows must be. Im humiliated traumatised and want the authorities to take action for these intolerable behaviour” she wrote, urging organisers and authorities to address such intolerable conduct.
