With ‘Hunkkaar: The Roar’, actors Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aneet Padda, and Zoya Hussain have come together to tell the story of a 17-year-old who accuses a self-proclaimed Godman of sexual assault. Even as Hussain is happy that the JioHotstar series examines blind faith and demands consequences for sexual assault, it’s not lost on her that “the endless list” of microaggressions that women face goes unchecked.
Sharing an uncomfortable situation, the actor told mid-day, “You are taking public transport, and the men will stand extremely close to you and brush past your chest or bum. This is an everyday occurrence.”
