In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Tillotama Shome recalled the terrifying molestation incident in Delhi, and it made her feel super uneasy.

The actress shared that while waiting for a bus in Delhi, it was getting dark when a car with six guys stopped near her. She felt uneasy and moved away a little. They started catcalling, and someone threw a small stone at her. The actress then realized she needed to leave and thought about running, but they could easily catch up, so she stood in the middle of the road and hitched a ride. 

Several cars passed without stopping until she saw a car with a medical sign. Tillotama recalled that she thought it might be safer since he was a doctor. She got in the car and sat in the front seat. But then, the driver unzipped his pants and tried to force her hand. "My instincts kicked in, and I hit him. He had to stop the car because of what happened, and he told me to get out," she said.
