Dulquer Salmaan recalls being touched inappropriately by an older woman: She squeezed my butt, I was in pain

In an interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Dulquer Salmaan recalled being inappropriately touched by an older woman

Dulquer Salmaan enjoys a huge fan base across the globe. The star is loved by people of different age groups but when it comes to females, his popularity knows no boundaries. While he courteously greets his fans and appreciates the love and respect they give him, Dulquer faced an unsavoury incident some time ago. In an interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Dulquer recalled being inappropriately touched by an older woman. He said the person grabbed his butt and left him in pain.

Dulquer said, "An older lady, I don't know why… and it was very awkward and very bizarre. Like she squeezed (the back) and I was in pain. I don't think it was that kind of a grab, I don't know what…. and she was way older. I don't know what it meant and I was on stage and a lot of people were standing there and I was like ‘Aunty please come and stand here'. A lot of the times, people don't know where to keep their hands... sometimes it is just on your behind... but this, I was like ‘Why is this happening? And I don't know how to get out of it'. It was bizarre. I completely forgot about this."

The actor further spoke about enjoying female following. "I think this talk of female following has been happening since O Kadhal Kanmani or Sita Ramam. But otherwise I have a solid boy fan following in Kerala... Having said that people know who I am actually, in that there is a connect... I have had weird interactions with maybe slightly older women, not like aunties, but older women, who have taken pictures, and then just sneaked a peck on my cheek. Not very appropriate, but they are sweet. Sometimes it catches you by surprise. I am not even looking there, I am posing for the picture and suddenly there’s a thak (peck)," he added. 

Dulquer Salmaan, who has majorly acted in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu cinema, made his Bollywood debut with Karwaan in 2018. He went on to star opposite Sonam Kapoor Ahuja in The Zoya Factor (2019). His third Hindi film was Chup: Revenge of the Artist (2022). Dulquer teamed up with Rajkummar Rao, Gulshan Devaiah and Adarsh Gourav for Raj & DK's recently released web series, Guns And Gulaabs.
