Soha gets candid

Soha spoke about the weird incident while talking about her privileges when she appeared in the latest episode of The Male Feminist podcast on the Hauterrfly YouTube channel.

During the conversation, she was asked if she had ever been flashed in public. To which Soha said, “In Italy, yes. Apparently, that happens often. But in broad daylight? Yeah… What is their motive? I don’t understand that. We don’t want to get into their heads to understand."

Soha admitted that her privileged background has protected her from many unsafe situations that women face daily, mentioning, “I understand that my life is privileged; my life has been protected. And I’m happy that I’ve not had such experiences. I know that for so many people who take public transport, something or the other happens every day.”

In fact, Soha said she believes that she was spared from facing the casting couch in Bollywood because of her privilege, “where you belong to an industry family." She said that “everybody felt that there’s Saif, there’s Sharmila ji."
