Not
too
long
ago,
actress
Samyuktha
Hegde
was
assaulted
by
congress
leader
Kavitha
Reddy
and
a
few
men
in
a
public
park
for
wearing
sports
bra
and
pants
during
her
workout.
The
actress
had
shared
videos
of
the
unfortunate
incident,
wherein
the
politician
was
seen
charging
towards
her
and
her
friends
in
an
attempt
to
hit
them
for
wearing
'indecent'
clothes
in
public.
Eventually,
a
few
men
also
joined
the
lady
and
threatened
the
actress
that
they
would
link
her
name
in
the
ongoing
Sandalwood
drug
scandal.
Samyuktha
had
also
shared
that
the
police
who
were
witnessing
the
incident
had
asked
her
and
her
friends
to
leave
the
place
immediately,
and
were
also
seen
taking
the
side
of
the
wrongdoers.
Well
recently,
after
the
social
media
cried
foul
over
the
incident,
Kavitha
Reddy
took
to
her
official
Twitter
page
to
issue
an
apology
to
the
Comali
actress.
Calling
the
happening
a
mistake,
she
tweeted,
"I
have
always
opposed
Moral
policing.
I
realize
that
my
actions
were
construed
as
such.
An
argument
ended
up
in
me
reacting
aggressively
as
well,
it
was
a
mistake.
As
a
responsible
citizen
n
progressive
woman,
I
own
up
to
n
sincerely
apologise
to
Samyuktha
Hegde
n
her
Friends!"

Later,
the
actress
was
seen
accepting
the
apology
of
the
Congress
leader
as
she
wrote,
"Apologies
accepted
Ms
Kavitha
Reddy.
I
hope
we
can
all
move
forward
from
the
incident
and
make
women
feel
safe
everywhere."
Several
actors
from
various
industries
including
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Samantha
Akkineni,
etc.,
voiced
their
support
to
the
actress.
Adding
that
Kavitha
Reddy
should
deal
with
her
anger
issues,
south
diva
Kajal
Aggarwal
wrote,
"Omg
Sam!
Can't
believe
this
even
happened!
Miss
Kavitha
Reddy,
u
need
to
deal
with
ur
anger
issues
n
figure
out
where
this
frustration/
aggression
comes
from,
a
lot
more
than
what
young
girls
choose
to
wear,
doing
their
own
thing-
high
time
we
all
mind
our
own
affairs
#ThisIsWrong."
Krishna
and
his
Leela
actress
Shraddha
Srinath
also
expressed
her
support
through
her
social
media
handle
as
she
wrote,
"People
of
our
generation
will
have
heard
this
a
lot.
'Did
you
see
how
she
was
dressed?'
'She
was
asking
for
it.'
And
so
by
this
logic,
a
girl
wearing
a
sports
bra
is
fully
deserving
of
being
brutally
sexually
assaulted,
and
if
something
happens
to
her,
she
has
no
right
to
complain
(or
come
crying,
because
that's
what
girl
do
best
right?"
On
the
other
hand,
Samantha
Akkineni
took
to
her
Instagram
stories
to
share
the
apology
letter
of
the
politician
and
tagged
Samyuktha
with
a
girl
clapping
gif.
