The second woman who has accused Vijay Babu of sexual harassment, wrote on Facebook: “This was a one day incident. I met Vijay Babu, Actor cum producer, owner of Friday film house in the month of November 2021. We met for a work-related thing. We discussed some professional things and later personal issues came up. He realised that I needed help and offered to help me. One other friend, who was there with us, stepped outside the room, so now only we both were there.”
“He was drinking alcohol and offered it to me as well. I refused and continued working. Suddenly he just leaned to kiss me on my lips, without any question, without any consent. Luckily, my reflex action was super quick and I just pulled myself backwards and maintained a distance from him. I looked into his face, and he then asked me ‘Just one kiss?’. I stood up and said no. He started apologizing from then and requested me to not tell anyone. I agreed as I was scared. I immediately got out of the room casually for some silly reason,” she continued to write.

Making further allegations against Vijay Babu, she continued writing, “Even though he didn’t further force me to do anything, the thing which he did was cheap and scary. I had to discontinue my work because of this. I just stopped taking efforts to enter the malayalam film industry after this, which was a dream for me until then.”
“I realised that we just barely knew each other for 20-30 minutes, within this time frame he made his first movement. I wondered how many women would have faced a much worse experience.”
The second accuser further revealed that she decided upon writing about the incident, post the rape case that was filed against Vijay Babu recently. “I decided to bring up this after reading the recent incident which happened to an actress. I understand through what all she had gone through. When some group of people is speaking against her I was not able to keep quiet, as I know, he is someone who would do this. He is someone who tries to utilize vulnerable women offering help.’’
In the long Facebook post that the woman put up on the page, she further mentioned that she recalled the episode to “raise her voice for the rape survivor”. She also said that the first accuser “deserves justice”.
