Speaking to Times of India, Pratibha said, "It's surprising that such an incident could occur on a busy road at 10 pm. It was shocking but a revelation, too. I learnt that women are scared to lodge a complaint in these cases, but I would urge them to fight it out,"
Pratibha has acted in TV shows like âTujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi' and âPhir Bhi Na Maane Badtameez Dil'. In âSaath Nibhana Saathiya', she plays Naiya, a character with grey shades.
