Abstract Bollywood songs and pictures have shown the hero as romantic and substantially successful in melting the heart of the woman. Numerous people who belong to the millennial age group, grew up watching Bollywood pictures and listening to songs that constantly glorified the act of stalking, harassing and trespassing one’s privacy. This is a major reason behind the high rates of road sexual harassment ( formerly known as dusk- teasing). During the early 1990s and 2000s, the times were changing and rapid-fire globalization was taking place within the country. This led to numerous changes inperspectives.As long as popular culture keeps on touting the acts of stalking and harassing women, society won't change for the better. Representation via popular culture can be dangerous and influential. Still, there can be positive influences through the depiction of acts that aren't dangerous. The idea of collective respect and the acceptance of dismissal must be canonized. Since Bollywood is a source of entertainment for the millions, there's a great compass for impacting society through illustrations that conduct vital knowledge. The author has used empirical study and percentage method of survey and it has been conducted mainly in Chennai.The author is J.Gopika law college second year student from Saveetha University ( law department) and the Co -Author is Mr. Manu Joseph G, Assistant professor from Saveetha University ( law department).The sample size in this research is 200. The aim of the study is to find the main reason behind stalking and how it is handled by victims. It was concluded from the research that there are more female victims compared to male victims and most of the time they feel scared and vulnerable. Victims carry weapons or inform others about it and the stalking just stopped.
