Tired of the constant abuse, Disha stood up for herself targeting the rape culture prevalent in society that polices a woman's clothing rather than changing the mentality of abusers.
In a scathing Instagram post that has now gone viral, she has taken a stand against slut and body shamers in the backdrop of the molestation and rape stories in the news lately.
In the note, she says, "It's easier to judge a woman on the basis of how much they cover up their skin (sic) but it's harder to accept your own cheap mentality when you can't stop staring at those inappropriate places which you are asking her to cover up!"
