Kannada actress Pranitha Subash, recently seen in Bollywood film Bhuj: The Pride of India, took to the multi-lingual microblogging platform Koo to express her anger over the horrific incident. She posted a Koo saying, "We belong to the country where women are worshiped as Goddesses. It is heart-breaking to witness such a horrific incident in the motherland of Goddess Chamundi, who killed demons. It is impossible to imagine that such an event took place in the city of Mysore that is known for its rich culture."
