Mouni, known for featuring in drama series Naagin and also for her roles in films such as Gold, Brahmastra and Made in China, narrated the incident in a series of Instagram stories.

She claimed they placed their hands on her waist and didn't like it when the actor asked them not to do so. Mouni also said the situation worsened when she got on a stage as some elderly men tried to capture her video from a low angles and also made lewd gestures. The actor said she even went till the exit, but decided to continue her performance.

A video, purportedly from the Karnal event, has now surfaced on social media. In it, Mouni is seen walking away from one side of the stage to the other. As she does, she flips off the crowd.

"These creepy uncles need to be checked," commented a Reddit user. Another one wrote, "All these tharki uncles deserve belt treatment (sic)."

In her note addressing the incident, Mouni emphasised how artists try to earn an honest living with their craft and said the following incidents left her humiliated and traumatised. She also urged authorities to take action for such behaviour.
