“This one time I was taking a drop home by a FEMALE friend of mine literally 5 minutes away from her house. All of a sudden, we were stopped by the police and told that apparently some bill had been passed. That all females found doing awaragardi (wandering) late at night will be arrested,” she said.

Adding on she said, “We were then asked to step out of our car for checking. To this, we acted reluctant as we both were in our PJs without any chaddar to cover ourselves. We didn’t want to be standing out on the road that late at night with so many policemen surrounding us.”

Upon showing resistance the policemen in question threatened to handcuff them after which the actress and her friend locked the doors, closed the windows, and called their parents and other friends.
