Actress Shreya slaps 'molester'

Chennai: South Indian actress Shreya Saran was allegedly molested by an employee of a Hindu monastery during a visit to the famed Tirupati temple. The actress slapped the man and handed him over to her security guards.

The actress, who co-starred with Tamil superstar Rajnikant in last year's blockbuster "Shivaji - The Boss", was allegedly molested in full public view when she was returning after offering prayers at the temple, some 180 km north of here, early Monday. Shreya did not file a police complaint.
The incident was repeatedly beamed on television channels late Tuesday.

"The man misbehaved with me just as I was coming out of the temple. I slapped him and my security personnel did the rest. I firmly believe that every molestation victim should do what I did," the actress was quoted as saying.

According to police sources who talked on phone from Tirupati, the transgressor was identified as Hari.

Hari, who is working in a monastery located near the temple, was handed over to the local police by the Shreya's assistants.

The man has since been released, as there is no case because of the absence of a complaint, sources added.

I've heard stories of many actresses being molested, one of them being Jyothika. I remember some website reporting a 'b*ob press' incident, after a press meet, and that guy got slapped too-by Surya. But this wasn't confirmed at all, so I haven't beleived it.

i have seen that photo and video, and also nayanthara suffered the same fate in another incident.

So it is true, that there has been such an incident?I've seen videos in youtube, (but never bothered to watch it). I know there has been a boob press incident, so its true surya slapped the guy?

I don't understand how they could release that fellow. He has committed a crime and you do not need a complaint to proceed with prosecution.

i'm glad the guy was apprehended. nowadays you can't get respect even if you beg on your knees. some people have to learn the hard way that you've got to respect a lady the proper way.

well i used to share the same kind of sentiment too but these women aren't always what they portray onscreen. some men are just that way. they have to learnt the hard painful way. you know if you put a piece of meat in front of a insane hungry dog, it'll definitely jump on it. these actresses should learn how to protect themselves before these incidents happen.

they should never go to any place without the proper security. thank goodness... there have been no kidnapping or stuff like these in india.

in hong kong an actress was kidnapped by the traids & held captive for 2 weeks or so. she was released soon but after some time a partially nude picture of hers in which she seemed heavily drugged and barely conscious appeared on a magazine.😭

but the common indian sentiment is that these women deserve no respect and even if there is a harm, common people here say , they deserve this.

And those who have that sentiment be dam*ed!

Again Jiggs, don't take this personally. Wasn't meant for you 😊

Well done Shriya!
But she should have also given a Police Complaint. She probably feared doing that 'cos formal complaint might mean one or two trips to the Court later, which would cost her precious time and therefore, money.

I've read in a mag (I have to say it here now, my info is generally not from Tamil tabloids - simply b'cos of the fact that I don't have access to Tamil tabloids here, but only reputed Tamil mags available to subscribers online and the reputed mags themselves carry varied Kollywood news!) about the Jyothika incident too. I think it was after a media site's chat thingy (may be Galatta, but not sure) that she was surrounded by a mob and the mischief happened. But unlike Shriya's case no one was either identified or apprehended. When such a thing happens, I do NOT believe that it was done UNintentionally. Whoever that was, I really hope something happens to his hand/fingers, so he won't dream of doing this to any other woman, in his life 😡
It's one thing, when an actress does things with her consent and an other, when she's molested.

Most of us know, that Simran is quite short tempered and very brave, from various articles on her. This article was in Kumudam a while ago. Simran was in a village for the shooting of "Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi". There was a drunken villager who passed a nasty comment about her in Tamil, while she was resting on a chair, in between shots. Eye witnesses said that Simran literally jumped from her chair and slippered him. And when he started to run, she had chased and hit him with her sandal till he fell off. Later on, he was apprehended by the Police. There was also an interview of the villager who was apprehended and he realized his folly and apologized to her via the interview.
