Afshan Azad, the actress who played Padma Patil in the Harry Potter series, had earlier reported that her life was threatened by her father and brother. But yesterday in court, her brother Ahraf admitted that together with his father, they assaulted her and threatened her life all because she was dating a Hindu man. Her family is Muslim so that is no surprise. But sadly, she won't testify against them, maybe because out of fear, and the brother and father were cleared. I hope that she speaks up to this domestic violence because a sweet girl like her does not deserve such violence.
