Khan then shared that the there men then attempted to grab her and placed a "loaded gun" on her stomach in the process, adding that she began shouting to seek help.

"No one listened. Four guards were sitting in front of me [but]no one listened. I protected myself. My feet got hit really hard. I pushed the bike... and ran," she said, adding, "I could have been shot from the back."

“I want to ask you all if you can send your sister, your sister-in-law, your mother, your wife and your daughter outside the house safely? [While] proudly living in your country? No, you can’t. I can guarantee you that you can’t,” said the actor.

"I am an actress and a taxpayer. I pay taxes for this country. Why do I pay taxes?" she questioned in the video, adding that she can hire four guards to protect herself instead of wasting her money paying taxes.
