Recently, while actor-director Pushkar Jog was waiting for a friend in his car near Ville Parle in Mumbai, he saw two youths harassing a girl. Pushkar walked up to them and tried to intervene, but the youths started abusing him.
Talking about the incident, the actor said, ���I was sitting in my car when I noticed two boys who were standing next to a girl on the pavement, touching her inappropriately. I could not hear what they were talking, but I saw them abusing her. When I walked up to them, they recognised me but when I asked them to leave, they started using foul language. I retaliated by hitting them and by then a crowd had gathered. Thankfully, the cops came and took the two hooligans away. I had to rush for an urgent meeting; otherwise I would have accompanied them to the police station and ensured the boys were taught a lesson.���
Pushkar added that he could not stop himself from getting involved. He added, ���People were around but no one was doing anything about it. Maybe the girl knew the boys and there was some issue between them, but you cannot physically abuse a girl. I had to voice my protest.���
The actor is currently awaiting the release of his Marathi film 'Sasucha Swayamvar'. Hear him talk about the movie and his role in the link below.
