Dangal actor Zaira Wasim has alleged that she was molested on a Delhi-Mumbai flight. The seventeen-year-old took to Instagram, where she posted pictures and a live video after the flight, talking about her ordeal.

So, I just landed and you know the whole irony of this is that the guy... this is not done at all. This is not the way, this is not (how) a girl should be made to feel because this is terrible. Is this how they are doing to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don’t decide to help ourselves. This is the worst thing.
