Nikita Dutta, who was last seen in the film The Big Bull recently shared a horrifying incident that happened to her. The actress took to Instagram and opened up on how two bikers snatched her phone when she was walking through a street in Bandra to a restaurant at around eight in the evening.

Now recalling the same, Dutta says, “It was quite traumatic. That night I didn’t sleep at all. I had a panic attack the moment it happened.” Nikita has also gone through the CCTV cameras but couldn’t find anything useful.

“I’m scared to step out and go for a walk. I hope I do overcome because these are the things I enjoy. At least at the moment, I’m not comfortable going out. For a while I don’t think I have the courage to go out,” shares Dutta.

The entire incident was shared by Nikita on her social media handle. She penned, “Sharing a torrid experience I had yesterday, which was very traumatic and has given me a rough 24 hours. I was walking on the 14th road in Bandra around 7.45 pm in the evening. Two men came on a bike from behind, tapped me on my head, which suddenly disoriented me for a moment and the pillion snatched my phone from my hand. They were on the move when they did this. So before I could react they fled away.”

“For almost 3-4 seconds I was in absolute shock as I didn’t register what just happened. By the time I gathered myself and ran behind the bike, they had gone too far. The walkers nearby were sweet enough to rush for help. A kind man on a two-wheeler even tried to follow them after hearing me yell for help but was in vain in keeping track as they drove rashly and just got away in no time. With all the helplessness and rage I felt in that instance it almost gave me a panic attack,” she added.

“Was lucky enough to have some very helpful people around who calmed me down gave me some water as tears rolled down uncontrollably. Later I did file a complaint at the Bandra police station. Did all the needful things as per procedure. Writing this message in the hope to create awareness. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else and no one has to experience losing their hard-earned money like this without any fault of theirs,” Nikita wrote concluding her post.

After the unfortunate event, Dutta advises, “It was sheer bad luck. I’m trying to forget the episode like a bad nightmare. However, one thing I’d like to say to everyone is that do not text when you are on the road.”

Nikita is known for her work in television and movies. On the small screen, she has been part of shows such as Dream Girl – Ek Ladki Deewani Si and Ek Duje Ke Vaaste. She has starred in films such as Gold, Lust stories, Kabir Singh, The Big Bull and Maska.
