Overview

• In a new appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the comedian shared a first-person account of repeated harassment from years ago.
• She said the incidents occurred during early-morning bus rides taken to reach smaller colleges where she ran comedy skit workshops.
• According to her account, the 5 a.m. buses were packed with milkmen and so crowded that passengers had little room to move.
• She said she had not been taught about “good touch–bad touch” and needed about two-and-a-half years to realize the touching was intentional.
• After recognizing the behavior, she said she began defending herself by elbowing some of the men, and media reports note no legal complaints or investigations.
