Sameera Sharif’s Stunning Comments Go Viral

One of the issues that has been shaking society in recent times is the atrocities being committed against women, girls and children. Although strict laws like POCSO are in force to prevent such incidents, serial actress Sameera Sharif believes that in order to stop the real problem at its root, children need to be properly educated at a young age. She especially suggested that children should be told in detail about good touch and bad touch at a young age. In a recent interview, Sameera Sharif, speaking on this topic, revealed for the first time the painful experience she faced in her childhood. Talking about the sexual abuse she faced as a child, she emotionally revealed that she did not even know the meaning of it at that time.

Sameera said… When I was a child, we used to live in the railway quarters. My relatives used to come to my aunt’s house opposite ours. One of them used to pinch my cheeks and kiss me. I didn’t understand what it was at that time. I thought it was normal for adults to do that, right? She said. She also recalled another incident that happened as part of a game of hide-and-seek. We all used to play hide-and-seek together. That uncle also used to join in the game. We used to go to the terrace to hide. Since no one would come there, he would take me there and kiss me. Although it felt awkward to me, I thought that he was doing it out of love because I was young. But when I grew up, I understood… he used to fulfill his desires, Sameera expressed her grief.

Based on this experience, she made a key suggestion to parents and adults. Children should be told in detail about good touch and bad touch at a young age. They should have the power to recognize that no matter how someone behaves, it is wrong. They should be given the courage to speak up without fear if they encounter any trouble. Children need the reassurance that ‘if you tell us, we are there and we will support you’,” she said clearly. These comments made by Sameera Sharif are currently leading to widespread discussion on social media. Many are praising her courage and commenting that talking openly about such matters will bring about change in society. At the same time, netizens are of the opinion that parents need to be more careful and be friendly with children and create awareness.
