Actors Taapsee Pannu and Riteish Deshmukh, among others, have reacted to the Bombay High Court’s January 19 judgement that there must be ‘skin to skin contact with sexual intent’ for an act to be considered sexual assault. Taapsee, Ritesh, Shibani Dandekar and others expressed their disbelief at the judgment, the full details of which were made available over the weekend. “I tried for long but m still left with no words to describe how I feel after reading this,” Taapsee wrote in a tweet, reacting to a news story about the development. “Got it now. Happy #NationalGirlChildDay2021,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
