Shreya slaps groper at Tirumala

Shreya had a harrowing experience at the temple town of Tirumala on Ugadi when a fan tried to molest her in the presence of a handful of pilgrims. Shreya was returning after Suprabata darshan at the Venkateswara shrine at Tirumala when the incident occurred. The actor was speaking to media persons when one Hari, 20, an employee at the Shankar Mutt, tried to shake hands with her.

When she refused, he touched her waist, prompting her to slap him. Contacted later, the actor confirmed the incident to this newspaper and said that the man’s blatant act at a holy place was unforgivable. Shriya visited Tirumala with local MLA M Venkataramana arranging a darshan for her and giving the attendant Koti to escort her.
