A 41-year-old man identified as Vikas Sachdeva has been sentenced to three years in jail by a Mumbai special court for molesting former Bollywood actor Zaira Wasim in 2017 on a flight.
Back then, Zaira posted to her Instagram story that a man molested her while she was half asleep on her seat, on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai. She explained that how the man constantly touched her inappropriately by moving his foot up and down her neck and back.
She tried to film Sachdev, but it was too dark to see his face. Police arrested him after he was reportedly identified with help from the airline, Air Vistara.
She also made a video explaining her horrifying experience on the flight, in which she was heard as saying, “No one will help us if we don’t decide to help ourselves.”
The man, on the other hand, claims he was trying to sleep and the actor mistook it for molestation.
Wasim debuted with Amir Khan in the movie ‘Dangal’ in 2016. In 2019, she announced her decision to quit acting because she wanted to make her bond with God stronger, and the profession threatened it. Her last movie was ‘The Sky is Pink’ with Priyanka Chopra.
