Jonita Gandhi recalls being cyberflashed, receiving ‘d**k pic with my photo in the background' on Instagram: ‘It's disgusting'
There's no exaggeration in saying that almost every woman has faced online sexual abuse or harassment in one form or another. While commoners themselves endure such traumatic experiences frequently, the situation is far grimmer for celebrities, who live in the public eye and are constantly subjected to hypersexualisation. Recently, singer Jonita Gandhi shared a disturbing experience she faced online, which served as a stark reminder that just when you think perpetrators can no longer shock you with their actions, they find new, even more unsettling ways to do so. In a recent interview, Jonita recalled being a victim of cyberflashing, where a person posted a picture of his genitals with her photo in the background. 'Some things are kind of traumatic. On Instagram, you can check your mentions, and I'd see that I'd been added to someone's Close Friends stories. Then I'm seeing it's a d**k pic. It has a watermark with their thing and my photo in the background. It's disgusting. It's harassment. But I keep ignoring such things,' she told Hauterrfly. Post Credits Scene | Bhool Chuk Maaf: Rajkummar Rao has become the poster boy for losers; he plays the same character over and over again She also opened up about facing racism and body image issues as an Indian growing up in Canada. 'I used to get a lot of racist comments about my facial hair while growing up. They used to call me Godzilla, and even the Punjabi boys in my class would make fun of me. Growing up, I was convinced that I was never going to have sex because of the same issues. I couldn't accept my own body; how can someone else accept it? I still have some of those issues; I still avoid swimming sometimes, but music made it better. I feel like I am the ugly duckling who became the swan.' Renowned for lending her voice to superhit songs such as 'Chennai Express', 'Mental Manadhil', 'The Breakup Song', 'Gilehriyaan', 'Sacchi Mohabbat', 'Main Tumhara', 'Deva Deva' and 'What Jhumka?', she has also sung in Urdu, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali languages.

AB de Villiers Reveals Why Virat Kohli Didn't Speak To Him For Months And How They Rebuilt Their Friendship
Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has revealed that his close friendship with Indian cricket star Virat Kohli went through a rough patch, triggered by an unintentional slip-up during a livestream. The Pregnancy Leak That Sparked Silence In a recent interview with de Villiers hinted that Kohli didn't speak to him for months, possibly because of a personal incident. The former Proteas batter had confirmed during a livestream last year that Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were expecting their second child news that hadn't been publicly shared at the time. This revelation came after Kohli withdrew from the Test series against England for personal reasons. A few days later, de Villiers clarified in another video that he had made a mistake and the information was incorrect at the time of sharing. 'I did have a bit of a footfall not too long ago when they were expecting their second child,' de Villiers admitted. 'So, I was very relieved when he started talking to me again.' Kohli and de Villiers Reunite After RCB's Title Win Despite the period of silence, the bond between the two cricketing greats seems to have been restored. Earlier this month, Kohli and de Villiers shared an emotional hug after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their maiden IPL title by defeating Punjab Kings in the final. The duo, who formed one of the most celebrated batting partnerships in IPL history, were seen celebrating together on the field, rekindling memories of their golden years at the franchise. Kohli's Test Retirement and a Heartfelt Conversation De Villiers also spoke about Kohli's recent decision to retire from Test cricket, saying that the Indian batter had reached out to him for guidance during a tough phase in his career. 'He's been in touch with me over the last six months,' said de Villiers. 'We all know he went through a bit of a patch and sort of wanted to bounce a few ideas off me how I got through certain moments of my life.' He continued, 'I knew what kind of phase he was going through, considering his age and how many games he's played, and the dynamics of being in the team all the time the politics thereof as well. So, I shared with him from the heart what I felt and what I thought watching him on the screen.' Despite the past misunderstanding, de Villiers emphasized that he stands by Kohli and supports the choices he makes regarding his cricketing future. 'I'm happy he is still around playing cricket and that the decision (to retire from Tests) comes from the heart. I support him 100 percent with that,' de Villiers concluded.
