She continued, “We seem to be a country that will hold candle marches for a woman after she’s been sexually assaulted but won’t protect a woman while she’s alive. And the truth is that women in India grow up being sexualized their whole lives, I have grown up with these kinds of comments to the point where it culminated into me being sexually assaulted as a minor by a middle aged man. "

Earlier, she opened up on how people trolled her for the lingerie shoot and threatened her with rape. 

Aaliyah found support in many of her father’s industry colleagues including his ex-wife Kalki Koechlin who has herself stood up against online harassment and name calling in the past.
