Goa News: Actor Anita Nandini Shree alleges she was molested on Calangute beach

PANAJI: A Tamil model, actor and Instagram influencer, Anita Nandini Shree has alleged that she was molested last week by some unknown persons while holidaying in Calangute. The incident happened in broad daylight around 4 pm on the Calangute beach, she claimed.

However, she stated that she did not file a police complaint as she did not want to ruin the holiday and make it inconvenient for the other people accompanying her.

In a phone conversation with this reporter, she alleged that some unknown male persons – who seemed to be from North-India, tried to pose for photographs with her – on the guise of making Instagram reels and touched her inappropriately. In anger, she pushed them aside, shouted at them and walked away in disgust.

“I want to forget the incident. I do not want to file a police complaint. It was irritating and disgusting and tourists should understand that they cannot take liberties with women. If you are in Goa and on a Goan beach, that does not give you the license to fondle or touch women,” she said, adding that women should ‘keep safe distance’ from unknown men as a ‘safety precaution’.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Anita has signed two new film projects – to be produced by Vrindaavan Films.

It is a comedy, family entertainer and is said to be inspired by the film Golmaal. It will be made in Tamil but dubbed in Hindi, with English sub-titles.

The 32-year-old Anita has done several modelling assignments and is an influencer and actor.

The Tamil remake featuring Anita in the main lead, is slated to be a big-budget production and is likely to feature some big Tamil and South names as part of the star cast.
