In a social media post, Shreya expressed her solidarity with the ongoing protests and wrote, “I am deeply affected by the gruesome and heinous incident tha recently took place in Kolkata. Being a woman myself, the very thought of the sheer brutality that she must have gone through is unthinkable and sends shivers down my spine.”
