If you find an adult woman who hasn’t been catcalled, gaped at, or worse, physically assaulted in her life, call the Men In Black because she’s clearly an alien who just landed from another planet. Having complete strangers feel entitled to your body and personal space comes with that extra X chromosome, there’s no escaping it. And as we know, women in the limelight have it much worse. Just ask Janhvi Kapoor, who inspired such a furore with a recent public appearance at a shopping mall that her Dhadak co-star Ishaan Khattar was forced to step in and act like a human Lakshman Rekha.
As is evident in the video, a mob of men surrounds the two debutants, camera phones held aloft. Even though Janhvi obliges one fan, he continues to follow the pair — trigger finger going 100 kph — despite the fact that the object of his affection is now shielding her face and exhibiting clear signs of discomfort.
Proving chivalry isn’t dead, Ishaan creates a physical barrier between her and the creep, who then proceeds to HANG OFF HIS ARM while still taking selfies in a remarkable display of ambidexterity and perseverance. Congratulations, dude – you just elevated being a creep to an Olympic sport.
We couldn’t watch the whole video without squirming in our seats.
