“I travelled in bus only two times so far. We went to Velanganni in Nagapattinam during my childhood. I was 11 year old at that time. My father was sitting alongside me. Suddenly, I felt a hand behind my back. I thought it was my father” Andrea said in the interview.

“All of a sudden, that hand was going inside my T-shirt and saw my father. His two hands were in front. I didn’t say anything to my father or mother. I just adjusted myself and sat a little bit forward” She further said.

“I don’t know why I didn’t say about it to my parents. I know it’s something wrong. My father would have did something about it if I told him about it but I didn’t. Because we are brought up by our society in that way. Society wants you not to make a big deal about it” the actress said.

“I have gone through many such incidents throughout my life. What can we do? You tell me. There’s nothing we can do” The actress expressed her dejection. She also shared about an incident where a student shouted at her “I Love You” in college bus.

“I have a choice not to go in bus but what about other girls?? What would they do?? My classmates used come and cry in class saying that they got groped or harassed in bus. They have to come in the same the next day. They don’t have a choice” She said.
