Shocking: Uttaran actress Tinaa Dattaa molested on flight; recounts the horrifying experience

December 10, 2016

Mumbai, Dec 10: TV actress Tinaa Dattaa, who is best remembered as Ichcha from Colors' show Uttaran', had a horrifying experience on a flight enroute to Rajkot last morning (December 9).

tina-dattaSeated on a Jet Airway plane, Tinaa claims she was sexually harrassed by a co-passenger, who tried to touch her inappropriately. This left the actress shell-shocked and much to her dismay, the staff wasn't of much help either.

Upon narrating what had ensued, the casual attitude towards the whole incident by the staff members didn't go down well with her, as they just changed the seat of the passenger and cited that such cases keep happening.

Tinaa had a tough time all through her journey and in a lengthy post on Facebook, has recounted the entire experience.

This is what she had to say:

YESTERDAY morning I was travelling to Rajkot with Jet Airways 9W 7001, departure time 10:25am from Mumbai. I have experienced a horrible experience which I would like to narrate and go viral about it.

I boarded my flight and was allotted seat no 30A and my manager was seated on 30C, we were discussing some work related topic when suddenly I felt that someone was trying to sneak their hands through the sides. A passenger seated on seat 31A by the name of Rajesh tried to fiddle with me and started touching me inappropriately, at first I thought it's a kid but when I turned behind I was horrified to see it was a full grown man, I yelled at him and he was stammering and was ashamed and apologised. I called for the air hostess Ms. Pooja & Mr. Abhijeet to intervene in the matter, but they were not at all helpful instead they had the audacity to tell me such things happen and they will change the mans seat. I demanded for the man to be deported but I was told that I should also deport to file a complaint, I demanded to speak to the captain after much persuasion was I allowed to speak to him, Mr. Jagjeevan Singh was not friendly his reaction was one of a disgusted person, his reply to the whole matter was, before take off they are not responsible for anything that happens post take off they would take responsibility , my question being had this happened with their family members would they still be so calm about the matter. I felt so Violated and yet no one was there to support except one family in the entire aircraft, we as Indians do not care for the safety of our fellow beings, the entire flight did not stand up for this except that family. Is there no safety measures for your passengers?? Is this how you are treated and I get to hear all sorts of excuses how the matter is not on their (captain) jurisdiction and nothing can be done and apparently this is very common in flights (according to the air hostess). Finally after much arguments I had no say as no one came forth for my help.

Second incident on the same flight, while I was having my meal the passenger in front of me seated 29A reclined their seats and was not willing to budge this created difficulties for me to eat. Air hostess Diana intervened in this and requested the man to upright his seat, this man was so rude to her started yelling at her she even warned him that she would call cops on landing but it did not seem to affect him at all. All the captain had to say was this does not come under our protocol.

I have some serious questions to Jet Airways, do you not have any safety measure ?? I was violated and no action was taken apart from changing the mans seat, another person yelling for no rhyme or reason! I never expected this from Jet, I've been an ardent flyer with this airways but i won't take my chances next time. Truly disgusted with the events that took place this morning.

As Indians, there was no one to raise their voice, everyone sitting on their seats and enjoying the show! This is ridiculous, I wonder if this happened with their family, would they still be this calm? Serious questioning needs to be done...

NO ACTION WERE TAKEN BY JET..

GUYS REPOST/COPY PASTE AND MAKE THIS VIRAL.. WE GIRLS NEED TO FEEL SAFE AND SECURED.. Jetairways.com Jetair Jet...

Madam , real life is not a film. While you are travelling you must wear proper cloths. may be you are wearing sleeveless , tight cloths , which is definetly attracting few men. If you use proper cloths , atleast our national dress of shalwar khamis in a decent way people will not look at you.
precaution is better than cure.

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.

New Delhi, Jun 2: After Amitabh Bachchan, it is actor Akshay Kumar, who has come forward to support Bhumi Pednekar's initiative -- Climate Warrior -- urging the people to plant trees.

Bhumi Pednekar has sought to bring Bollywood together to spread awareness about mother nature through her campaign in view of the coming World Environment Day (June 5).

The campaign endeavours to get leaders from the entertainment industry to tell what is the 'one wish they have for the earth.'

Following the thread, the 'Kesari' actor was seen raising his voice on issues, and have taken steps to bring awareness to important causes like climate change.

"Our Beautiful Planet that has sustained us now needs us to protect it more than ever. During this time we as a community must tread carefully and act immediately" Akshay Kumar was seen saying in a video posted by Pednekar on Instagram.

"A lot of damage has been done and climate change is a grave reality that all of us are facing," he added.

Explaining his one wish to rebuild mother nature, is, as he says: "The simplest act of planting trees."

"I consider this as one of the most basic and efficient deeds that we can exercise individually and also urge others to do so. Let us do our bit to heal and rebuild the only planet we have. So join me and become a Climate Warrior," the 'Padman' actor concluded.

Ahead of the World Environment Day, and in support of Bhumi's initiative, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan earlier in the day also pledged to be 'climate-conscious' in a bid to protect nature.

Mumbai, Jun 3: Investigators will subject the cloth allegedly used by actor Sushant Singh Rajput to hang himself to "tensile strength" analysis to determine whether it can bear the weight similar to that of the filmstar, as part of probe into his death, an official said on Friday.

Rajput (34) was found hanging at his suburban Bandra residence on June 14.

According to the investigators, the actor ended his life by hanging himself from the ceiling using a green coloured night gown made of cotton.

No suicide note was found from the spot, the police had said then.

Besides viscera from the actors body, the police also sent the gown for chemical and forensic analysis at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in suburban Kalina, he said.

It will take at least three more days to get final forensic report, the official said.

To ascertain the exact cause of death, forensic experts will check pattern of ligature marks around the actors neck and also determine the strength of the gown with the help of "tensile strength" analysis, he said.

The tensile strength test will technically establish whether the cloth can bear around 80kg, the weight of the actor, he said.

The test will help determine if there was any foul play, the official said.

Tensile strength is maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being stretched.

Viscera analysis will help in checking whether there were any traces of chemical, poisonous or narcotics substance in his body, the official said.

"Usually, it takes eight to ten working days to get s report from the FSL in regular cases. But since this case is sensitive, experts are taking more precautions to avoid any kind of error in their analysis," the official said.

The forensic report of the actors mobile phone is also awaited, he said.

Recently, the police received the final post-mortem report of the actor from Cooper Hospital, which mentioned the cause of the death as asphyxia due to hanging"
