Actor Ayesha Khan has shared her personal struggles with constant online abuse, threats of violence, and a harrowing experience of attempted rape.
Speaking at a recent Mojo Story summit, Ayesha revealed how even ordinary moments attract unwanted attention, leaving her feeling emotionally distressed and trapped in a 'sad space.'
She also confronted the reality of violent threats, confirming that she receives rape threats every day and has been a victim of attempted rape in the past.
