Neha Bhasin shares horrific details of being sexually abused at the age of 10

Singer-songwriter Neha Bhasin has come a long way ever since she won Coke [V] popstars’ competition and formed India’s first all-girls Viva (band) along with four other girls. Apart from playback singing in Bollywood, Neha is also known for her contribution in the independent music genre of Indian pop.

The ‘Dhunki’ singer recently opened up about her scarring experience of being molested when she was just 10-year-old. She even shared the horrific details. Read on to know.

Sharing details of how she was molested, Neha told IANS, “I was 10 years old. I was in Haridwar, one of the religious places in India. My mother was standing a few feet away from me. Suddenly, a guy came and poked his finger inside my a**. I was shocked. I just ran away. Then, a few years later, a man grabbed my breasts in a hall. I clearly remember these incidents. I used to think that it`s my fault. Now, people have come on social media and have started abusing others — mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually — there. I consider it faceless terrorism.”

Recently, Neha was targeted online by BTS fans. She had even received death threats by the fans of the popular K-pop band. Commenting on that, the singer said, “It all started when I had shared my point of view in support of another singer. I did not pass any demeaning remarks for the K-pop band. I only had said that I am not a big fan of that particular band and since then I have been trolled. From rape threats to death threats, I have witnessed it all. I don`t keep quiet now. I even filed a police complaint.”

The singer had even released a single ‘Kehnde Rehnde’ against cyber-bullying. Her song highlighted issues like slut-shaming, sexism, cyberbullying and confining a woman to stereotypical standards of society.

For fighting the faceless trolls relentlessly and fiercely, all I want to say is more power to you Neha.
