I kept wondering if that man was following me. When I met my mother, I was too scared to tell her. I thought she would scold me and say it was my fault." Gautami further added that she was in her school uniform when the incident happened. She recalled her mother's reaction and said, "When I got home and told my mother, she said, 'Are you crazy? You should've turned around and slapped the man, or held him by his collar.' She told me never to be afraid. If anyone ever does something like that, hold their hand tightly, shout loudly, and never panic. If you feel scared, keep pepper spray with you and use it on their face, or just take off your shoe and hit them. Nothing will happen to you."
