Samyuktha also took to her Instagram handle to share the unfortunate incident live, captioning ‘this is wrong’ she said, “Guys please help us. We were doing our loop stuff and now many people have come here. Please see this. They are just trying to gain attention. She tried to hit us. We have video proof of her trying to hit us and this is wrong. He is talking about drugs and stuff which is not true.”

She further added, “I was wearing a sports bra and pants and was loop flowing with friends of mine. She came and try to hit us and now they are telling that we are wrong. And now they are talking about drugs just like that. Just because there is a drug scandal controversy in the Kannada industry, they are trying to say in the background that Samyukta is doing drugs and sh**. It’s Corona time and we are social distancing and this is what they are doing.”
