Ayesha Khan Reveals She Is 'Sexualised' Everyday, Says 'I Have Had Rape Threats...'

Actor Ayesha Khan recently revealed that she was dropped from a major T-Series song for 'being fat' just before filming, calling it an early blow to her confidence when she was in Class XII. Speaking at the We The Women event, the Dhurandhar actor also shared that she continues to face rape threats almost every day.

Speaking at the We The Women event, she said, "I am almost every day sexualised for my body on Instagram. I wear a normal top; people have a problem, I wear skirts, people have a problem. I have to think before posting. If I have to think before wearing something or wanting to post something, just because someone else is going to sexualise me, it's, of course, a very sad space to be in. I don't know, there's a very thin line I keep struggling, sometimes I think I'll post whatever I want, but other times I am not in the mood to see any comments telling me whatever they would have done to me if they had a chance."

Ayesha further added, "Because you are a potential rapist if you had the strength or you could do what you are saying, you would do it. So it's very scary that these are actual human beings around us. These are not just comments. I have had rape threats every day. I so wish something strict could be done about it. There are days when it triggers my wounds, scares me that if I were not this famous or powerful like I am today, it could have happened."
