Getting into the world of fame at a very young age can be critical because fame can get into one’s head and mess with it badly. But the one person who saw everything in life pretty early and still managed to remain herself is Avika Gor. The Balika Vadhu actress won everyone’s hearts with her innocent and impactful performance in the show. In a recent interview with The Male Feminist, Avika was asked if she’d ever been eve teased.
What Happened With Avika?
“This has happened a lot with me in Kazakhstan,” says Avika. “Yes, there are bodyguards with you always, but there is always someone who wants to act smart.” She says that she was touched inappropriately while going to the stage at an event. “When I turned around, there was no one else but my bodyguard.” That’s when she realised that this bodyguard could also be the one doing this act and that is why is so adamant about the thought that he is there solely for her protection.
But this didn’t just happen one time. Avika recalls, “I remember when it was about to happen for the second time. And this time I held the hand and turns out it was the same bodyguard.” As shocking as it may sound, this is the sad reality. Avika shared that she just made a disgusted face and moved on. “What can be done? They don’t know how to speak English or Hindi so I let it go. What more could I do?”
