Actress Sanaya Irani, who shot to fame with her role in the daily soap, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, recently revealed a shocking incident when she was harassed in a moving bus in Mumbai. She recalled that she was in college at that time and a man flashed at her while she was with her friend.
During her conversation with Hauterrfly, Sanaya recalled her harrowing experience inside a bus in Mumbai. "Once, I was in a bus while going home from college and I felt something on my knee. I thought it must be some insect and just brushed it off. Then I felt it again, and at that time, I saw that the man sitting in the seat in front of me was touching my knee through the gap between the seats."
"He then got up, went to the other side, he sat there, looked at me, and started masturbating. My friend suggested we should just get off at the next stop, and while I initially protested, we deboarded the bus eventually. That incident was scary, to be honest," she added.

Sanaya, however, added that barring a couple of incidents, she has always found Mumbai safe and also shared that she has never been the one to get bogged down by such incidents.
