Last Updated:
Jamie Lever, daughter of actor Johny Lever, shared a traumatic school incident where a stranger exposed himself and masturbated, leading her to avoid men for years.
Actress, comedian, and social media personality Jamie Lever, daughter of the renowned Bollywood actor Johny Lever, recently revealed some deeply troubling experiences from her past. These incidents had a profound effect on her, causing her to avoid men for many years. Jamie recounted a distressing event where a stranger exposed himself and masturbated in front of her outside her school. Jamie was a student at Jamnabai Narsee International School in Mumbai's Vile Parle at the time.
Recalling the disturbing incident, Jamie told Hauterrfly, 'My driver asked me to sit inside the car after school. I was sitting at the backseat with my friend and we were waiting for my brother. A man came and stood outside the car…he flashed and he started masturbating. I was so shocked that I didn't understand what was happening. I was shaking because I thought he'll open the car door. I slowly locked the doors and when he realised we were not looking at him, he walked off."
The actress added, 'It was so disturbing. I was only 10-12 years old when this happened. I didn't tell my parents because I didn't understand what happened. I did not even discuss this with the friend who I was with because we were traumatised."
Jamie also said that the school bus conductor, who was supposed to keep children safe, would sometimes hold them and touch them in a wrong way.
Recalling another incident, Jamie said, 'Once, I was coming down the stairs at Andheri station and a man came and flashed in front of me. I froze as I didn't understand what happened and why it happened. My friend pulled me and asked me to just keep walking. All these things disturb you. It's now that I feel that I have the courage to stand up for myself and react."
Talking about how these incidents affected her as a teenager, Jamie added, 'To be honest, all these things are like a bad dream to me. You don't want to go back and revisit these things. I've suppressed these incidents in my subconscious. Also, because of these scary incidents, I didn't let men come close to me for many years. Dating, relationships and even talking to men happened much later in my life. I started opening up when I was in London for my post-graduation."
Jamie made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with the film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, which starred Kapil Sharma, Elli AvrRam, and others. She later appeared in movies like Housefull 4, Bhoot Police, Yaatris, and Crakk. In 2024, she stepped into the South Indian film industry with her first Telugu film, Aa Okatti Adakku.

Box Office: Housefull 5 nets Rs 159 crore at end of third weekend, business hit by Sitaare Zameen Par
Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 witnessed a major dent in its third weekend because of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. The comedy caper directed by Tushar Mansukhani has registered an average third weekend by clocking just Rs 6.90 crore net. Housefull 5 collects Rs 2.90 crore on 3rd Sunday, cume reaches Rs 159 crore Released on June 6, Housefull 5 is showing a downward trajectory at the box office ever since Aamir Khan's sports comedy drama took charge. After collecting Rs 114.4 crore in its opening week and Rs 37.35 crore in its second week, the Akshay Kumar starrer could add just Rs 6.90 crore to the tally on its third weekend. It entered the third weekend by collecting Rs 1.60 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 2.40 crore on Saturday. As per estimates, the movie is likely to end up netting over Rs 2.90 crore on Sunday. The total cume of Housefull 5 now stands at Rs 158.90 crore net at the Indian box office. Housefull 5 targets an end at Rs 170 crore, set to turn an average affair Bankrolled by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the movie is heading to finish its domestic theatrical run around Rs 170 crore net. Though this is not an ideal ending for an Akshay Kumar movie, it should have done Rs 200 crore at least. However, it is a reasonable figure for a movie that opened majorly to mixed-bag reactions.

‘28 Years Later' review: Danny Boyle's triumphant return to zombie film
Danny Boyle's 2002 film 28 Days Later is widely considered one of the most influential entries in the zombie genre. By stripping out the supernatural and replacing it with a scientifically plausible viral outbreak, Boyle gave the genre a visceral realism. Now, in 28 Years Later (2025), Boyle reengages the genre with his trademark jittery digital aesthetic, matched by Alex Garland's bleak yet poetic screenplay. (28 Weeks Later, the 2007 sequel was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, but this new instalment brings the original team back into play.) 28 Years Later isn't just a sequel; it's a resurrection—a smart, stylish, and often brutal return to a world that reshaped zombie cinema back in 2002. The post-apocalyptic UK remains in indefinite quarantine, its landscape overrun by the infected. Small uninfected communities survive in isolation. One such pocket is a tiny island off the coast of Scotland, cut off from the mainland and clinging to normalcy. Garland's script focuses on one family: Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), his ailing wife Isla (Jodie Comer), and their 12-year-old son Spike (Alfie Williams). The story balances the lives of these isolated survivors and the shifting nature of the virus itself, while also functioning as a coming-of-age tale for a boy forced to grow up too soon. His drive to save his mother becomes the emotional core of the film. Visually, Boyle embraces a lusher, more cinematic palette. Frequent collaborator Anthony Dod Mantle paints the screen with steely blues, greys, mossy greens, and sudden shocks of red. It's a haunted landscape—vast fields where clusters of daisies offer fleeting distraction from the horrors lurking in ruins and undergrowth. The score, composed by Scottish hip-hop trio Young Fathers, mixes established tracks with original compositions. But the standout is Boyle's integration of Rudyard Kipling's Boots, narrated by Taylor Holmes. Its militaristic cadence becomes a chilling refrain, layered over disjointed visuals of past and present—suggestive of the violence ahead. Boyle's kinetic energy remains—dynamic camera work, sudden edits, sharp violence. A standout scene set in an abandoned train carriage, abandoned homes with horrors within are very effective but the tonal shifts—from tender family moments to brutal carnage—can be jarring. Much of the horror lies not in gore (though there's plenty), but in implication: the off-screen scream, the aftermath silence, the look of a survivor who's run out of hope. Alfie Williams is remarkable as Spike: cautious, haunted, never overplaying the role. Comer brings raw depth to Isla, a mother trapped by illness and love. Taylor-Johnson lends Jamie a quiet intensity—caring but ethically conflicted. Ralph Fiennes makes a memorably unsettling appearance as Dr. Kelson. There's a cheeky cameo and teaser at the end of the film that perhaps links to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a follow-up film due out in early 2026. 28 Years Later is more than a return to form. It's a filmmaker using genre not just to thrill but to reflect.

28 Years Later review: Danny Boyle proves third times a charm in this zombie follow-up
When '28 Days Later' came out in 2002, it shocked everyone about how someone could paint such a brutal canvas of what would happen if zombies took over the world. At that time, the zombie-horror genre was new, and Danny Boyle's film immediately catapulted in a direction that ushered in more filmmakers to explore this landscape.A follow-up to the massive success of '28 Days Later' was the 2007 film '28 Weeks Later'. A tad bit milder and not so effective as the prequel, the film felt like it was an exercise to draw ticket sales more than appeal to its loyal audience. But the wait for the third chapter is worthwhile as director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland bring us the tightest possible film in the time around, the story revolves around a family, where Jamie (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), his wife Isla (played by Jodie Comer), and their son Spike (played by Alife Williams) live on a remote island away from the virus that exterminated the population. As simple as it might sound, things change and take turns for the worse when Jamie realises that he needs to go to the mainland to find a cure for his ailing there more survivors ? How are the living inhabitants on the mainland able to ward off the zombies and the virus ? There are many questions and subplots that make the film absolutely intriguing. Watch the trailer for the film here: In a post-Covid world, a setting of this nature where a father and a husband try to find a cure for his ailing wife might feel eerily similar. A lot has changed in the world since the time of '28 Days Later' and the makers are aware of this. The second half especially is where we get to watch Boyle's doesn't approach horror as a straight linear genre but adds several subplots and elements to make it more difficult for the viewer to predict what's happening next. Visually it's on par with the first film. Despite the availability of CGI and VFX, Boyle creates more tension and fear in the scenes stripped of the technical performances are excellent, especially Johnson and Comer, who are both so good in the film. Ralph Fiennes pops up in the middle of the film, giving an iconic performance that picks pace and infuses some energy in the plot. Anthony Dod Mantle, the visionary behind the film's striking close-ups, reunites with Danny Boyle after their first collaboration. Together, they are in top form, delivering some truly spectacular and visually arresting only big grouse with the film is that it gets too caught up in its own premise at multiple junctures. Rather than keeping the ball rolling, it stops, pauses and tries to intellectualise certain sequences to no avail. While the zombie genre has been explored in both cinema and television tirelessly over the years, '28 Years Later' still feels fresh and you enjoyed '28 Days Later' and wondered why we didn't get something as spectacular as the first film, then your wait is over. '28 Years Later' is a good time at the cinemas, and you won't regret it.4 out of 5 stars to '28 Years Later'
