Nora Fatehi viral video draws backlash: Indian actress defends herself

People are calling out Bollywood female stars for what they said their hypocrisy after Anushka Sharma criticized Sunil Gavaskar for dragging her in cricket commentary while discussing Virat Kohli.

As Twitter users lent support to the cricket legend, a large number of them shared a viral video of Norah Fatehi being “inappropriately” touched by dancer Terence Lewis.

“This creep is Terence Lewis He is doing this on tage to a known face… No, It’s not a slip of hand.! Where are those Bollywood Feminists who mocked Sunil Gavaskar.? Can Anushka Sharma say something about this.?,” a user captioned the video.

A Zen Master and his disciples of monks were walking in the Himalayas back to their monastery. On their way to the monastery they had to cross the river Ganga flowing fully though less violently.  There was an young beautiful maiden in distress, sitting close to the banks, whose village was just across the river. She was scared to cross the river by herself so she asked the elder monk to help her cross the river. "Sure" said the Zen Master and held her up in his arms. They crossed the river and he let her down gently as she went to her village after thanking the Master. The younger monk wasn't taking this all easily. He looked little worried. The monks came to their monastery after couple of hours of difficult walk in the hills, but the younger monk was still not settled. Sensing it the Guru asked him what the matter was. The young monk said "Master, we have sworn of not touching a woman, but you carried her in your arms, you tell us not to think of women but you touched her" complained the disciple. The Zen Master smiled n replied "I carried her across the river and left her on the other side. Are You Still Carrying Her ? " 🙏🏽 . . .
