Actors Grace Antony and Saniya Iyappan have taken to their respective social media handles to speak about the sexual assault they faced while they were leaving a mall in Kozhikode after the promotion of their upcoming film ‘Saturday Night’.In her statement, Saniya Iyappan said, “So I and my movie team were promoting our new movie, "Saturday night" at a mall in Calicut. The promotion events went well across all the places in Calicut and thanks to the love from the people of Calicut. The event at the mall was extremely packed with people and the security was struggling to handle and maintain the crowd. After the event, I and one of my costar were leaving and some guy misbehaved with my colleague, and she didn't even get a chance to see or react because of the rush and the crowd. After that, I also encountered a similar act of misogyny and I reacted to it in shock as you've watched in the video. So I wish no one has to face this kind of unwanted trauma in their life, for violence against women there will be consequences and actions against these misogynistic individuals (sic).”Check out the note here.Grace Antony too penned a note, speaking about the incident, and shared that she wasn’t able to react at the moment due to the shock.Saniya Iyappan however, was quick to respond, and in a video circulating on social media, she is seen slapping the person who misbehaved with her.
