Khushboo Patani, former Indian Army officer and sister of actor Disha Patani, has spoken about the importance of self-defence training for women. In a recent Instagram video, she discussed air pistols and stressed that anyone considering shooting should first learn proper handling and safety practices.
Khushboo explained that air pistols use compressed gas to propel pellets rather than conventional firearm ammunition. She encouraged women interested in learning shooting to seek proper instruction at a recognised shooting facility rather than attempting to learn on their own.
In the video, Khushboo also shared several points she believes women should consider before purchasing an air pistol. She emphasised the importance of choosing equipment that can be handled comfortably and highlighted the need for training and responsible use.
Her comments come in the context of a broader conversation around women’s personal safety and self-defence. While discussing the subject, Khushboo encouraged women to become more confident about protecting themselves and not rely entirely on others for their safety.
The former Army officer also spoke about avoiding casual or uninformed purchases and suggested that prospective buyers understand the applicable rules and seek guidance from legitimate dealers and trained professionals.
Khushboo’s post has sparked discussion online about self-defence, shooting education and the importance of responsible training. Her comments primarily focused on preparedness, confidence and learning the basics of safety before handling any shooting equipment.
