Okay, our admiration for Sushmita Sen just went up several notches…

The actress shared an incident at a recent event about a 15-year-old boy misbehaving with her. She maintained, “So many times people think we don’t encounter things like misbehaviour because we have bodyguards. Let me tell, even with 10 bodyguards around, we are dealing with a crowd of 100 men who have often managed to misbehave with us.”

Sharing details about the incident, she declared, “Six months ago at an award function, a 15-year old boy misbehaved with me as he thought I wouldn’t realize because of the crowd around. But, he was wrong. I grabbed his hand from my behind and was I was shocked to see he was just 15. I held him by his neck and took him for a walk. I told him if I make a hue and cry, his life would be over. He denied having misbehaved at first but I sternly told him to acknowledge. He realized his mistake, said sorry and promised me that it will never happen again. I didn’t take action against him because I understood that the 15-year-old was not taught that such things are an offence and not entertainment.”

Trust Ms. Sen to do the right thing in every way! While refusing to name and shame him, she nonetheless ensured he learnt his lesson. That’s possibly one less future molester in this world.
