Kangana Ranaut and Munawar Faruqui's revelations on being sexually abused as kids calls for attention towards what we should teach our kids on child sexual abuse

Actor Kangana Ranaut and comedian Munawar Faruqui have opened up on being sexually molested as kids. In the latest episode of Lock Upp, Kangana revealed she was inappropriately touched by a boy in her town while Munawar said he was sexually abused by one of his relatives when he was 6 years old.

"I was 6 to 7 years old when I was sexually assaulted. They were relatives. It continued for 4 to 5 years. It was close family and I didn't understand it then. Fourth year when it went extreme, they realised they should stop. I have never shared this with everyone as I have to face them. I didn't find any use of telling it to anyone. I think my dad knew about it. He said something once that made me feel like he knows it but I don't remember clearly. Now I think dad didn't say anything as he might have felt the same...like how do you tell anyone about it," Munawar revealed in the show.
