Breaking her silence through Instagram videos, Anjali explained how the incident left her disturbed. She said, “For the last two days, I have been very stressed. People are asking why I stayed quiet, why I didn’t react or slap him. Some even claim I was laughing and enjoying it. Do you really think anyone would enjoy being touched like that in public?” (In Hindi)
The video has been widely shared across social media platforms, with Reddit users and others condemning Pawan for his behaviour.
