Renowned Pakistani actor Adil Hashmi has brought attention to a crucial social issue by speaking candidly about his painful childhood experience. The actor revealed that he was subjected to sexual harassment by older boys at his own school when he was in the seventh grade. According to Hashmi, this ordeal lasted for several years, but he never mustered the courage to speak up, as he was unaware of who to confide in and was not taught how to raise his voice against such incidents.
Hashmi stated that his father did a lot for him, but he was not trained to discuss sensitive topics like harassment. As a result, he suppressed the experience within himself. However, after becoming a father, Hashmi’s perspective changed. He made sure to have an open dialogue with his son about such issues. When his son started going to school, Hashmi asked him if anyone was bullying him. His son replied that no one was, so Hashmi told him to come to him if he ever faced any issues.
The actor emphasized the importance of teaching children to speak up, not just when they are victimized, but also to make them feel that there is someone who will listen to them. This, he believes, will boost their confidence and reduce feelings of isolation. When asked about his childhood, Hashmi said that he is grateful that time has passed, and although memories are still difficult to relive, he considers those experiences a part of his life.
