Ruhanika Dhawan's SHOCKING encounter with a taxi driver: 'Used abusive language, did not stop..'

Television actress Ruhanika Dhawan, widely loved for playing Roohi in Yeh Hain Mohabbatein, recently shared a disturbing personal experience involving a taxi ride, raising serious concerns about passenger safety. Taking to social media, Ruhanika posted screenshots and a detailed note describing what she called a frightening encounter with a cab driver while she was returning home from college. Her post quickly drew attention, with many expressing shock and support.

A Routine Ride Turns Disturbing

In her caption, she wrote: 'Had a really disturbing experience with Uber India yesterday.” She went on to explain that she was travelling on a route she uses regularly and knows well. However, the driver allegedly took a detour that was 'completely not in the direction of my house,” even though the GPS clearly showed the correct route. According to her, despite giving the driver the right directions multiple times, he refused to listen and kept arguing.

Fear, Refusal to Stop, and Abusive Language

Ruhanika further revealed that the situation escalated when she told the driver she felt unsafe and asked him to stop the car. She stated that he did not stop immediately. She also claimed that toward the end of the ride, the driver began using foul and abusive language. She shared that it was only after she raised her voice that he finally stopped the vehicle, forcing her to get down before reaching her destination. She then had to take the metro back home.

As a female student, this was extremely unsafe and unacceptable. Women deserve to feel safe in cabs — especially when we rely on them every day
