Sanjeeda Shaikh, who is basking in the success of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, recently shared a horrific incident that occurred to her a few years back. The diva claimed that she was assaulted by a girl in a nightclub. She further stated that women are no less than men when it comes to committing wrong deeds. Sanjeeda said that if a woman has done something wrong she should be told about the same. She stated that playing the victim card is ‘unattractive’.
In an interview with Hauterrfly, Sanjeeda said “I remember one incident very vaguely but it was by a girl. I was in a nightclub. One girl was passing by and she just touched my breast and she left. I was kind of taken aback, like what just happened. We hear men smack you on the back and they misbehave, ladkiyaan koi kam nahi hai (women are no less).”
“If you are headed on the wrong path, you are going on it regardless. It has nothing to do with men or women, whatever is wrong is wrong. If a woman has wronged you, tell her. Because I think playing the victimhood card is very unattractive,” she added.
In the same interview, she also talked about menstruation and stated that she shot a ‘mujra’ scene in Heeramandi when she was on her period. She said, “I shot for my mujra (Nazariya Ki Mari) for Heeramandi on the first day of my periods. For me, it gets really uncomfortable when I am on my second day. It gets difficult. But, I was so engrossed in whatever I was doing that I would forget all pain. But, they would pack me up early also. Because I told them there’s a little discomfort and if I rest a little, I will feel better the next day. So, this is the thing. You need to express yourself. If you won’t let them know, they will simply think you are very cranky. So, it is better to tell them why you are cranky in the first place. I also want to tell other women if you are not comfortable with the thought, get comfortable with it.”
