Zaira Wasim, who played the role of young Geeta Phogat in 2016 blockbuster Dangal, has got support from the Indian wrestler and her sister Babita Phogat after the actress shared the horror of being subjected to sexual harassment on a Mumbai-bound flight on social media.
In an Instagram Live video, during which the 17-year-old broke down several times, Zaira said she was on an Air Vistara flight from Delhi to Mumbai when a co-passenger sitting behind her put up his feet on her armrest. When she objected, the man reportedly claimed he was resting his feet due to “turbulence”.
Soon after her video, Geeta took to Twitter to condemn the incident and said "What happened to Zaira Wasim is very shameful".

Her sister, Babita, also a wrestler, reacted to the incident and said "it's high time that people must expose these monsters". She also urged girls to be aware of their surroundings.
