MUMBAI: Actress Sunayana Fozdar, widely recognized for her role as Anjali Bhabi in the popular television show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has decided not to celebrate Independence Day this year. The actress made her decision in response to the recent tragic incident in Kolkata, where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was sexually assaulted and murdered.
Sunayana took to her social media to express her sorrow and frustration, posting a story with the poignant question, "Are we truly free?" Her words reflect the deep pain and concern many feel about the safety of women in India, even as the nation celebrates its 78th year of independence.
The incident that led to her decision involved a man named Sanjoy, who reportedly pretended to be a police officer. He was known to wear a Kolkata Police T-shirt and used his connections to stay in police barracks. Sanjoy was allegedly involved in a corrupt scheme within a hospital, where he took advantage of vulnerable patients by extorting money from their relatives in exchange for securing hospital beds.
This tragic event has deeply affected Sunayana, leading her to question the true meaning of freedom in a country where such crimes continue to happen. As the nation reflects on its independence, Sunayana Fozdar's message reminds us that true freedom cannot exist without safety and justice for all.
