Actress Reflects on Emotional Impact of 2017 Assault Verdict
A few weeks ago, a court in Kerala, India, decided on a case from 2017 where a Malayalam actress was assaulted.
Six people were found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison, but four others, including a famous actor named Dileep, were not found guilty.
The actress recently talked about how the verdict made her feel.
She said it's hard to explain her emotions, which change every day.
Some days she feels okay, and other days she doesn't.
She's been staying at home, not ready to go out or see people.
It's been a tough time for her, and she's handling her feelings quietly.
A district sessions court in Kerala convicted six individuals in the 2017 actress sexual assault case, sentencing them to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment.
