Model-turned-politician
Archana
Gautam
and
her
father
were
attacked
outside
the
Congress
office
in
New
Delhi
a
few
days
ago.
The
incident
left
Gautam's
father
and
driver
severely
injured.
Now
Archana's
close
friend
and
actor
Ranveer
Singh
Malik,
known
for
his
role
as
Rahul
in
the
TV
show
Pyar
Ka
Pehla
Naam
Radha
Mohan,
has
come
out
in

SINGH
MALIK
SUPPORTS
ARCHANA
GAUTAM
He
said,
"I
don't
know
what
is
happening
between
the
war
of
political
parties.
But
one
thing
I
know
for
sure
is
whatever
happened
in
front
of
Congress
headquarters
with
my
friend
Archana
is
not
at
all
acceptable.
I
guess
no
girl
should
face
such
an
experience.
It
is
highly
discouraging
and
degrading
when
it
comes
to
the
rules
for
protection
of
a
woman.
Earlier,
Malik
cleared
that
he
doesn't
share
any
love
angle
with
the
Bigg
Boss
16
star
Archana
Gautam.
He
also
expressed
his
anger
at
the
incident
and
called
it
shameful.
He
continued,
"Archana
is
a
very
dear
friend
of
mine
and
I
have
seen
her
struggles
and
witnessed
her
journey.
And
after
her
participation
in
Bigg
Boss,
everybody
knows
her
aura.
She
is
a
clean-hearted
individual.
"I
don't
understand
what
went
wrong
when
she
went
to
Congress
HQ
to
present
a
bouquet.
She
has
been
attacked
by
a
group
of
women
where
she
was
pushed,
her
hair
has
been
torn
and
her
father
along
with
the
driver
was
beaten
as
well.
This
whole
scenario
took
place
in
front
of
Congress
HQ." Malik
said.
RANVEER
UNHAPPY
WITH
NO
SUPPORT
FOR
ARCHANA
FROM
CONGRESS
"She
is
a
member
of
the
Congress
party
and
had
fought
election
of
MLA
back
in
2021.
This
was
very
shameful
till
now
no
member
of
Congress
has
come
in
support
of
her.
I
want
to
question
that
if
this
kind
of
respect
the
party
gives
to
their
candidates,"
he
added.
Ranveer
concluded
by
showing
his
support
to
her
friend
and
mentioned,
"By
God's
grace
she
is
safe
but
what
if
something
worse
would
have
taken
place?
I
feel
so
disturbed
while
thinking
about
it.
I
think
it's
high
time
that
rules
and
regulations
should
be
made
very
strict
for
women's
safety
and
the
government
in
action
should
take
strong
action
regarding
the
incident.
So
that
this
scenario
doesn't
repeat
again
with
anyone
else
in
future."
Ranveer
is
known
for
featuring
in
shows
like
Yeh
Hai
Mohabbatein
(2013)
and
Shaadi
Mubarak
(2021).
Ranveer
was
also
paired
opposite
Archana
Gautam
in
their
recently-released
Haryanvi
song
AC
Lagwa
De.
