The young actress, while narrating her harrowing incident of sexual harassment, alleged that the two men tried to strike a conversation with her and sister after misbehaving with them. She added that the men wanted to know the names of the films she worked in.

"While my mom and brother got busy picking up things, Su and I were trying to move the cart to the bill counter. The men came to us again and this time one of them had the audacity to talk to me and my sister. Trying to get closer as he spoke, he wanted to know the names of the movies I have been a part of. We told him to mind his own business and leave. When my mom walked towards us they left," the actress wrote.

She expressed her anger for not reacting when she faced harassment in the mall and said that the two men might do the same thing with other girls. She encouraged other women and hoped that 'they have the courage to slap on the face' of such people. The actress further said, "Being a woman has been tiring, to be on a guard every minute as you step out of your house. To watch my clothes when I bend and turn."
