Actor Bhumi Pednekar recently, vented out her anger on some heinous crimes against women reported recently in the country. Starting from the brutal rape case in Mumbai to a death caused by alleged rape against a national level athlete in Uttar Pradesh and an instance of gang rape and murder in Chattisgarh, the news has shaken the actor who feels ‘sickened to the stomach’ after hearing such news.

Bhumi took to her Instagram stories and penned a note while calling out ways to change the scenario of crimes against women. She fumed at the abhorrent ‘soul-crushing incidents’ that one needs to listen to every day against women. She also demanded that things need to stop now. “As a woman living her dreams today, with a life full of aspirations, I feel sickened to the stomach that abuse against women has become an integral part of our society. Every day we wake up to multiple soul-crushing incidents. The crimes are getting more heinous and the numbers are increasing. We need change. #Enough is Enough,” wrote Bhumi Pednekar.
