An upcoming track on a
TV show, Humsafars is apparently based on the Delhi cab rape
incident. It took place on December 5 in the capital, where a cab
driver allegedly raped a 27-year-old.The protagonist, Arzoo
(Shivya Pathania), leaves the house on learning about Sahir's (Harshad
Chopda) truth. She gets into a cab and tells the driver to take her to
Borivali. The driver stops the car after some time, tries to hit Arzoo
and forces himself on her.
Acknowledging the new development in the show, Shivya says, “We recreated a recent cab rape incident on the show. The idea is not to sensationalize the issue, but to spread awareness. When stuck in such a situation, a girl should use safety apps on her phone for help. In the track, I am shown using an app to inform Sahir of my location. Rape is a heinous crime, but the victim should not give up the fight. One should live with her head held high as it's the rapist, who's at fault.“
