Holi is known as the festival of colors and the festival of love but some take it as an opportunity to get drunk and misbehave with women. One such horrific incident has taken place in Mumbai when popular television actress Chahatt Khanna was attacked in the car she was traveling in with her minor kids and staff.

Chahatt Khanna who is known as Ayesha in the serial 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' has stated to Spot Boy Last evening around 7 pm, I was travelling in my car with my kids, maid and staff and suddenly, a car banged my car from behind. It happened at S V Road, Malad. My driver braked and we were all thrown forward. I looked behind and saw 6 burly men getting down from the car. 4 bikes carrying 8 more men were right with the car, one on either side. So, 14 men in all within no time, surrounded my car. They recognized me and aggravated their aggression. They started banging the door, abusing us no end. Soon, 25-50 people had gathered a few metres away from this hooliganism. And mind you, most of them were seeing the tamasha as mere spectators. My driver got sh** scared. Why I am saying most of them is because then I saw few Muslim uncles coming forward and telling me to go away from there ASAP and they were braving it out in front of those hooligans. But my driver had started shi**ing bricks by now, He just froze, he couldn't dodge and veer the car forward.

Chahatt added I dialed 100 but hardly had I gone ahead a few buildings, the hooligans returned to repeat the heinous act again. At this point I decided to get down and confront them. I knew it could lead to anything but again, I had no other option. I knew they were not going to stop. They were all sloshed with bhaang. Why are no checks possible to detect bhaang? Anyway, I took my chappals and threatened them. Worse still, 4 of them started getting physical with me. I decided to call the local MLA, but at this very juncture the cops arrived. Had they come 5 minutes later, I don't know if I would have been alive. Hats off to the police and the present BJP government for this under which we have such an efficient system, The worst thing about all this fracas is the minor kids who were so scared and were reportedly crying loudly in shock seeing the worst treatment given to their mother by the unruly mob.
