Many Bollywood actors including Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Anushka Sharma condemned the horrific molestation incident which took place in Bengaluru on New Year's Eve.
Even Actor Ali Fazal was shocked by the incident. Ali took an initiative to start something that will actually help in his own family.
Since Ali has lot of young female members in his family between the age group of 14-18 years, he enrolled them for self-defence classes as he always believed that to make any change happen in society, you will have to start from your own house.
Ali Fazal enrolled his nieces and cousins in his family for self-defence classes. It all started when Ali's cousin in London took up martial arts lesson and he was driven then to enroll his nieces in Lucknow and Allahabad to learn martial arts and other self defence techniques available.
Speaking about it, Ali said, "I have done this in the midst of what is happening in our country. I won't lose hope and fly away to another destination. I think there are many promising things brewing in our land but right now we are to face the turmoil and the twisting. Education being at the centre of it all. I wish I could fund moral education to all schools at once but the need of the hour specially for women folk is to kick some a'' when required. So I have tried something. And I will fight it till we all as one community decide we must."
