Khushboo Patani, the sister of Bollywood actress Disha Patani, made a public appeal urging girls to carry air pistols for self‑defence after a disturbing assault case in Jamui. She said that young women should not depend on anyone for protection and should be prepared to defend themselves.
The call came in the wake of a high‑profile incident in Jamui district, where a woman was reportedly attacked and left severely injured. The case has sparked widespread concern about women’s safety in rural areas.
Patani explained that an air pistol is a non‑lethal weapon that can be used to deter attackers and provide a sense of security. She encouraged girls to learn how to handle such a device responsibly and to carry it as a precautionary measure.
The actress’s statement has drawn attention from both supporters of women’s empowerment and critics who question the practicality of carrying a weapon. Nevertheless, Khushboo’s message has resonated with many young women who feel vulnerable in public spaces.
