Amala Paul has thanked Vishal for standing by her in her recent exposure of a man who harrased her sexually when she was at a dance practice in a T.Nagar studio.  Her statement reads "Thank you Vishal for standing by me and assuring me that I must not let it go, and I didn’t, now I believe it’s every woman’s duty, to not let it go and stand for themselves. He was ready to trade me off like a meatloaf, his guts make me sick, his existence makes me sick".

Vishal had posted "Hats off to your guts Amala Paul for your boldness in the recent incident. Salute you. Needs a lot of determination and guts to move a case on sexual harassment. Sincere thanks to the police dept for the swift action filed. Hope these culprits learn a lesson."
