Bengaluru, Dec 10 2017: In a video posted on the social media, ’Dangal’ actress Zaira Wasim (17) alleged she was harassed by a fellow passenger sitting in the back row in the flight.

Teary-eyed Wasim said she faced the ordeal on the Vistara flight en-route Mumbai. She managed to record a video which shows the passenger in the back row rests his leg on the armrest of Wasim’s seat.

She said she ignored it initially but he continued to disturb and it got worse when lights dimmed. The attempt to record more was failed due to bad light, she said.
"This is terrible. Is this how they are going to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don’t decide to help ourselves," she said on the Instagram live after landing in Mumbai.

Though it is not clear whether she complained to the crew, she wrote "Slow claps for Vistara’s crew guys! Wonderful!"

Meanwhile, Rekha Sharma, the Chairperson of National Commission for Women told ANI that she saw the video on Instagram. "I am really horrified the way this incident happened & after that, the crew didn’t help this girl... I would like to tell Vistara that if they have zero tolerance why they have not named this person till now. Naming them is very very important. We would like to tell Zaira that we are there to help her out in any way we can."
