Let us tell you that Sumona Chakraborty wrote on her Instagram, ‘Today at 12:30 pm. I was going from Colaba to Fort. And suddenly, my car was stopped by a mob. A man wearing an orange stole was hitting my bonnet hard, smiling. He was pressing his stomach against my car. He started dancing in front of me. His companions came near the glass of my car and were shouting Jai Maharashtra and laughing. We moved a little ahead, and then the same thing happened.’

It was scary to realize that no matter who you are, or where you are, law and order can collapse in an instant.’ The actress said that she is upset to see all this, since citizens have the right to feel safe in this country.
