Is Feroze Khan Taking on Harassment Against Women on His Own?

The hero we need right now.

Feroze Khan

Being a celebrity himself, Feroze Khan is no stranger to cyberbullying and harassment. Now the actor has launched an initiative to help women deal with experiences online called ‘Protect Her Now’.

The Instagram page ‘Protect Her Now’ is a safe space for women to share their experiences with harassment and bullying in cyberspace and in real life. The team behind Protect Her Now (PHN) will then address this issue through resolution.

Is This Real?

Feroze Khan hasn’t announced his association with the ‘Protect Her Now’ platform. In fact, it was a Twitter user that connected the Khaani actor to the initiative.

So is this even real? Or is someone trying to use the Chup Raho actor’s fame to endorse their platform?

However, there is a video of the Ishqiya star explaining how he intends to create an Instagram page for the same purpose as Protect Her Now.

Feroze Khan has had enough of harassers

Word is that Feroze Khan decided to use his platform for this cause after an incident of a girl named Fatima being harassed by a man Ibsham went viral.

Soon enough, the incident was trending via #ibshambehindbars. When this trend caught the Tichh Button actor’s attention, he decided to do something about it.
