Khushbu said safety issues can occur anywhere and anywhere not just in the film industry. The veteran actress stated, “Women face challenges not just in the film industry but everywhere. You face them while travelling in a shared auto, local train, or even on a flight. It’s everywhere, not just in the film industry. But I would like to ask women to speak up whenever they feel someone’s mistreating them. Speak up then and there; don’t think about your career and troubles.” “A hero once asked me, mujhe kahi cycle gap mein chance mil jayega kya? (Will you give me a chance without anyone noticing?). She immediately held up her chappal and said, “I wear a size 41. Do you want to be slapped here or in front of the unit?”. Khushbu said that for her, self-respect is the most important thing and emphasised that if one doesn’t respect oneself, then how can one expect others to do the same?
