Back in September, many women took to social media to claim that they were harassed at the notorious AR Rahman concert, which was poorly organised. The event led to a severe backlash and Rahman apologised for the shortcomings. Now, 2024 has started with yet another shameful incident. VJ Aishwarya Ragupathi was harassed at the pre-release event of Dhanush’s Captain Miller film, which was held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. A video of the her slapping and making the culprit fall at her feet is going viral on social media.
In the video, she can be seen furiously slapping a guy and yelling at him. A huge crowd can be seen surrounding the two. The woman can be heard saying, “Fall at my feet. Will hit you with my slippers. Why are you acting now, dog? Why then did you run? Don’t act. Don’t act.”
Here’s the video:
Dear #Captainmiller team,
Before organizing event in big stages.. please ensure fan passes..
If you have less fans, don’t conduct AL in big stages.Giving free passes will lead to this kind of shit things…

Aishwarya also took to Instagram to share about her ordeal. She wrote, “In that crowd, a guy harassed me. I faced him immediately and I didn’t let go until I started beating him. He ran but I chased him, refusing to leave my grip. I wasn’t able to accept that he had the guts to grab a woman’s body part. I shouted and attacked him. I have good people around me, and I know there is a lot of kind and respectful humans in the world. But I am too scared to be around these few percent of monsters (sic).”
