In her note, quoted by the Indian Express, the 50-year-old actress wrote, “Fifty years on this planet, in this country, and I am teaching my daughter the same things I was taught as a child. Don’t go alone–to the park, to school, to the beach. Don’t go alone with any man, even if it’s your uncle, cousin, or friend. Don’t go alone in the morning, the evening, and especially not at night. Don’t go alone because it’s not a matter of if, but when. Don’t go alone because you may never come back.” ALSO READ: Kolkata Doctor Rape Murder Case: Indian Medical Association Announces 24-Hour Closure Of Non-Emergency Services From Aug 17

It’s the mindset.” Another wrote, “And the irony that she wasnt even roaming alone .. she was at her workplace which is considered to be the safest.” Other one wrote, “Maybe it's best for all women to leave the country till men understand their boundaries and the system starts taking crimes seriously.” One commented, “Maybe we are only teaching our daughters, not our sons! High time we start teaching our sons basic values and respect!”
