The video
In the video shared by a fan on X, a crowd can be seen forming around Aishwarya and another man at the event. The man can be seen trying to get away from her even as she catches his collar and confronts him. She even hits him on his head before he begins to walk away from her through the crowd. A few others can also be seen chipping in and asking him why he made her uncomfortable.
The statement
On Thursday, Aishwarya released a note on her Instagram stories that read, “In that crowd, a guy harassed me. I faced him immediately and didn’t let go until I started beating him. He ran, but I chased him, refusing to release my grip. I wasn’t able to accept that he had the guts to grab a woman’s body part. I shouted & attacked him. (sic)”
She went on to detail, “I have good people around me, and I know there are lots of kind and respectful humans in the world. But I feel too scared to be around these few percent of monsters!!! (sic)”
