Actress Anushka Sharma, like many others celebrities, expressed her anger and raised questions over the power of society to instill “fear” in the minds of “such monsters”.
Actor turned producer Anushka Sharma expressed her shock over Uttar Pradesh’s Balrampur ‘rape’ incident, which followed close on heels of Hathras ‘gang-rape’.
The ‘Paatal Lok’ producer took to Instagram and said: “Barely any time has passed and we are hearing of another brutal rape!?! In which world do such monsters think they can do this to a young life…This is beyond comprehension, so distressing! Is there any fear in the minds of such men? How do we as a society put fear in them and protect our women? #NoMercyForRapists #Balrampur”
In Balrampur, a 22-year-old woman, who was allegedly gang-raped, died on the way to hospital on Wednesday.
Dev Ranjan, Balrampur Superintendent of Police, said her family had lodged a complaint of rape against two men. “Both have been arrested”.
Meanwhile on the work front, Sharma has earned praise for playing strong-willed women in the crime thriller NH10 (2015), and the dramas Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), and Sui Dhaaga (2018). Her highest-grossing releases came with the sports drama Sultan (2016), and Rajkumar Hirani’s religious satire PK (2014) and biopic Sanju (2018). She was last seen in Zero with Shahrukh Khan.
