Bollywood actress Yami Gautam in a recent interview talked about an incident when a young boy from her hometown Himachal Pradesh recorded a video of her without her consent. The actress narrated that a teen boy came to her and requested a photo with her, but instead, he started recording her and later posted it as a vlog online.
