Actor Kayadu Lohar is busy promoting her upcoming Tamil film, Idhayam Murali, alongside co-stars Atharvaa Murali and Preity Mukhundhan. On a recent podcast with Galatta Tamil, she spoke about how she was eve-teased when she was only in tenth grade. The actor said that while she initially stayed quiet about it, she decided to fight back.
Kayadu Lohar recalls eve-teasing incident
Preity was recently seen in the Tamil film Blast, which gave her the chance to perform action scenes. When asked about her ‘Blast’ moment, Kayadu hesitated if she should discuss it or not before concluding that girls might be ‘inspired’ to fight back. She said, “I used to take classes near my home when in 10th grade, and there were these boys who were eve-teasing me. For a day, I was like, fine, forget it. The second day, I did the same. The third day, I just couldn’t take it.”
The actor recalled being so angry that she chose violence. “I was so agitated, and I got so angry, I picked up a stone. I threw it at his head and broke it. He started bleeding. I left from there. I don’t know what happened next, but…very violent. I don’t think you can pick up a stone and break a head. But that’s what I felt, and that’s what I did. Maybe I look like, paavam(poor thing), she doesn’t talk much, she is quiet. But when you do the wrong things, I don’t think you should be quiet and take it. You should give it back.”
