Ali Asgar says he was molested while in character as Dadi at a Delhi wedding
Comedian Ali Asgar, known for playing female characters in drag on television shows such as the The Kapil Sharma Show, has said that he was once molested while in character.

Comedian Ali Asgar has said that he was once molested while he was in character as Dadi. They were putting their hands on my chest, they were pinching my butt,” the actor, known for playing female characters in drag on popular shows such as The Kapil Sharma Show, said in an interview.
Speaking to the Times of India, Ali recounted the story of the unfortunate evening at a Delhi wedding. “Wherever I go for such shows, I don’t let the anchor announce my name,” he said. “I just enter as Dadi.” He said that when he arrived at the wedding, “people were already drunk.”
But not all experience of mistaken identity have been as terrible, he said. “Quite often, people are not able to tell that it is actually a guy playing a woman. I don’t know if that is a compliment,” he said. He also recounted a story of when Jacqueline Fernandes asked for his help in fixing her mic, and he had to remind her that he was a man.
“I am comfortable playing a female character, but as a performer I want to balance my roles,” he said. Ali will next be seen in Kanpur Wale Khuranas, comedian Sunil Grover’s upcoming sketch comedy show, in which he will also play a female character. He said that playing women has affected his career, as he is often offered similar roles.
And then he was attacked. A female colleague of his had to intervene to get him off stage. “I had a question then,” Ali continued. “Did they not realize that I was a man dressed as a woman? And even if they did, I was playing an old lady. Have they no shame?”

New Delhi: In a significant development, the Delhi police apprehended three individuals, including a Bangladeshi national, in connection with a recent burglary at a wine shop in Krishna Nagar police station area. The arrests were made in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, as confirmed by the police on Saturday.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Bilal, a Bangladeshi national, and Mohd Gazi Sheikh and Shaikh, both hailing from West Bengal, according to officials.
The incident came to light when the victim, Wasim Abbas Naqvi, a resident of Shahdara, Delhi, approached the police on April 25 to file a complaint. Naqvi reported that unidentified culprits had entered the wine shop by digging a hole in the roof, subsequently breaking the lock of the Almirah and stealing a significant amount of money.
Following the complaint, a case was registered under sections 457/380/411/34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Krishna Nagar police station, considering the gravity of the matter and the unusual method employed by the perpetrators.
A joint team comprising TST Shahdara and Crack Team Krishna Nagar was formed to investigate the case. The initial stage of the investigation involved the analysis of more than 50 CCTV footage obtained from the vicinity of the crime scene.
Preliminary findings from the CCTV footage revealed that three to four individuals had arrived at the wine shop on foot around 1:30 am.
