Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar recently reacted to the Bengaluru molestation on New Year's eve.
The actor shared a video on Twitter, addressing everyone.
"The Bangalore incident makes me feel we are evolving backwards, from humans to animals, rather beasts because even animals are better! Truly shameful," he said.
"I am ashamed to be a human being today. I was returning from my New Year's vacation with my four-year-old daughter in my arms when I learnt about the molestation incident in Banglore. I don't know how did you all feel about it, but my blood started boiling.
"I am a daughter's father but even if I was not one, I feel if a society cannot respect its women, it doesn't deserve to be called a humane society. What's most disgusting is that people have the guts to justify such shameful acts by criticising women for their choice of clothes," an enraged Akshay blasted out.
The Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi has defended the incident and said that as women are wearing revealing attires, these kinds of incidents has triggered molestation cases across the country.
The actor added that all women should be strong and react to such incidents without fear.
"Women should not consider themselves inferior to men... Just be fearless, be alert and learn self-defence," he concluded.
