Grammy-nominated sitarist Anoushka Shankar has shared a disturbing fan encounter that left her reflecting on personal boundaries, trauma, and healing. The musician revealed that a man physically lifted her without waiting for consent, an incident she initially brushed off but later realized had deeply unsettled her.
Recalling the fan encounter, Anoushka took to Instagram and shared that while she initially believed the person involved had no ill intentions, she was surprised that people reacted with far more shock and outrage than she herself had initially felt.
She added that despite having come far in her healing process, a single moment reopened her wounds that are enclosed within. Anoushka concluded, 'The path of healing curves, and is never linear. If you lost your voice again for a moment, remember you can find it, always, within.'
