Gauhar Khan was attacked for being Muslim and wearing a short dress

While Bollywood celebrities are often loved by fans like their own, the stars also sometimes have to face the wrath of those crazed admirers who tend to cross the line.

Bollywood star Gauhar Khan would be familiar with the latter lot as well as unearthed reports making rounds show how the actor was once slapped for wearing a skimpy dress.

The incident unrolled back in 2014 when a 24-year-old individual slapped the star during the shooting of a reality TV show India’s Raw Star, for wearing a short dress despite her Islamic faith.

The man was quoted telling Khan that "being a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short dress".

He was later taken into custody on the basis of assaulting a woman. A police official told Hindustan Times, then: “A preliminary probe has revealed that someone from the audience started teasing Khan to which she protested. An argument ensued between Gauhar and the man who was teasing her. Things turned ugly when the man suddenly slapped the actor.”
