A video capturing a powerful moment has gone viral on social media, showing a woman anchor, identified as Aishwarya Ragupathi, taking a stand against an alleged molester at the pre-release event of Dhanush starrer ‘Captain Miller.’ The incident unfolded in a crowded setting, where the anchor confronted the man who had allegedly harassed her.
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…

In the video, Aishwarya can be seen slapping and reprimanding the man, refusing to let go until she made her point. She recounted the harrowing experience on Instagram, stating, “In that crowd, a guy harassed me. I faced him immediately and didn’t let go until I started beating him. He ran, but I chased him, refusing to release 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.”
The brave response from the woman anchor has garnered widespread support on social media, with many applauding her courage and swift action against the alleged molester. The incident sheds light on the challenges faced by women in public spaces and the importance of standing up against harassment.
Expressing concern over the incident, a social media user directed a message to the ‘Captain Miller’ team, urging them to ensure proper security measures at events. The message highlighted the need for caution when organizing large-scale events and providing fan passes to avoid such incidents.
‘Captain Miller,’ a period gangster drama set in the 1950s and directed by Matheswaran, is at the center of this incident. The film features noted music director-singer GV Prakash’s soundtrack and is presented by T G Thyagarajan of Sathya Jyothi Films, produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan.
The viral video not only serves as a testament to the anchor’s resilience but also prompts a larger conversation about safety at public events and the importance of creating spaces where individuals, especially women, feel protected and empowered to confront instances of harassment. As the video continues to circulate, it amplifies the collective call for awareness and action against harassment in public spaces.
