Popular actor and presenter, Ayesha Omer recently opened up about being a victim of sexual harassment while discussing the MeToo movement in an interview with Ahsan Khan.

The star then ended up revealing that she too has been harassed and is not brave enough to open up about it yet, but someday she might. “I have been through harassment in my career and life, so I understand how it feels. I don’t have the courage to talk about it yet, maybe someday I will. But I can totally relate with everyone who has been through it.”

BTW whatever happened to the case you were filing against me for Load Wedding? I have been waiting with bated breath ...
