Sophie Choudry Says Man Flashed At Her In Mumbai's Bandra: ‘He Was Unzipping...'
Last Updated:
Sophie Choudry shared a disturbing incident where a man flashed at her in Bandra, Mumbai. Calling it 'disgusting,' she also opened up about inappropriate fan behavior.
Singer and actress Sophie Choudry recently opened up about a disturbing experience that took place in one of Mumbai's poshest localities—Bandra. In a candid chat with Hauterrfly, Sophie recounted a moment that left her stunned and disgusted: a man flashed her in broad daylight.
'It happened just a month ago," Sophie began, visibly unsettled. 'I was driving through a lane in Bandra when I noticed a man literally unzipping and putting everything on display. It was shocking." She added that while it was appalling, such incidents are not isolated. 'I don't even think some men realise what they're doing. Sometimes, it's so casual for them, like it's not even criminal. There have been times when men have stopped their bikes while I was walking in Khar and just exposed themselves."
Sophie pointed out that this wasn't the first time she'd experienced such vile behavior. 'The first time someone flashed at me was when I was a schoolgirl in London. It happens across the world, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying."
The conversation took a wider turn when Sophie highlighted the everyday challenges of being a public figure, especially when it comes to personal space and boundaries. 'One thing celebs deal with constantly is fans who want photos. And while that's totally okay, there are those who try to use that moment to get too close. They'll pretend it's innocent and try to slip their hand around your waist," she said.
Sophie, however, has a clear boundary. 'Now, the first thing I say when someone asks for a photo is, 'No hands.' My team is also very alert about this. I'm happy to pose with you, respectfully, but you don't get to touch me. That's not part of the deal."
Over the years, Sophie Choudry has carved a unique identity in the entertainment industry. She began her career as a singer and quickly gained popularity with chartbusters like Habibi, Le Le Mera Dil, and Babylove. Her distinctive voice and glamorous presence made her a staple at music awards and live events.
Sophie ventured into Bollywood with David Dhawan's Shaadi No. 1 and followed it up with notable appearances in Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Shootout at Wadala, and Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara!. In 2014, she entered the reality TV space with Bigg Boss 8, and later danced her way through Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7. Though she may have exited those shows early, her impact has been lasting.
Courageous and vocal, Sophie continues to use her platform to advocate for dignity, safety, and respect for women—not just in showbiz, but everywhere.

Lizzo opens about her weight loss journey after refuting rumours of using Ozempic: 'It's not easy'
Pop sensation Lizzo recently addressed her weight loss rumours and opened about her drastic weight loss journey. Months after refuting rumors that she used Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight loss pills, pop sensation Lizzo acknowledged that she did use them. The singer of About Damn Time confessed that she "tried everything" to reduce her weight, including weight loss injections, in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast, which was released on Thursday, June 19. 'It's not easy,' said Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson. She said, 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s--t.' The singer revealed that while she was experimenting with trendy weight loss medicines like Ozempic, she ultimately decided to focus on managing her calorie intake. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' she said. During the conversation the four time Grammy winner also revealed that she stopped being vegan after nearly a decade and changed her diet completely. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full,' she shared. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo 'But really, I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' Her change started when she traveled to Japan and saw an evident shift in the way her body reacted to animal-based meals. The Japanese diet is supposedly the healthiest in the world, according to Lizzo. She said, 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'More, more please.' And I was like, 'OK, this is what my body likes.'' Since every person's body is unique, Lizzo revealed that she doesn't want to give away too much about her own weight loss strategies in fear, that others won't get the same results. Although she didn't specify the brand or time she tried GLP-1, drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have grown in popularity as weight reduction aids. These medications, which were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, are now frequently used to aid in weight loss.
