Huma Qureshi has spoken candidly about online harassment, eve-teasing, and the disturbing trend of digital misconduct against women. In a recent conversation with The Male Feminist, the actress opened up about the kind of comments she faces on social media and why she believes online offenders should face the same consequences as those who engage in harassment in public spaces. Calling out the intrusive and inappropriate messages she often receives, Huma shared, “There are comments like ‘post a picture in a bikini,’ and I am like, ‘kar kya rahe ho boss?’ It is very disgusting, and it is quite sad. Mere hisaab se toh jaise ap ladki ko physically ya kahi sadak pe chalte hue tease karne ki punishment milti he, online ki bhi same punishment honi chahiye (According to me, just like someone who physically harasses or teases a woman on the street is punished, the same punishment should apply online).
