In another tweet, he wrote, “Yes, it is painful. Yes, it is atrocious. But, it says more about the other person involved. It doesn’t make you a victim. You’re a warrior with a scar. Never give up.”

“I live with the crime perpetrated upon me. There is never justice. Only momentary relief. Teach your men to be nice,” the actor further wrote.

I live with the crime perpetrated upon me. There is never justice. Only momentary relief.
Teach your men to be nice.
Be brave and break societal conditioning. Be nice.

The actor's confession evoked a lot of reactions on Twitter with people applauding him for his courage and strength. Actor Priyadarshi, who shared space with the actor, in the film Arjun Reddy wrote, "I will never be able to understand the trauma you went through even if I try now. I can't do anything too. But want to just say, stay strong. You have come out of every shit and handled it best to your capacity. You are a fighter. Love you brother!"

The actor who was last seen in Allu Arjun's Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, on Wednesday, took to Twitter to thank netizens for the support. He said, "Thank you all for the tremendous support. Your kind words have helped me more than anything else. I request all of you to closely guard your children and look out for sudden behaviour changes- they aren’t equipped with enough skills to communicate the horrors they survive."
