During the conversation, the anchor pointed out comments describing his appearance, including one referring to his 'lotus eyes'. The anchor then asked whether he understood what women experience when they face similar remarks and teasing in public spaces.
Responding to the question, Acharya said the comments directed at women on the streets were far worse than what he had experienced. “The comments passed on girls walking on the road are not even one per cent of this. If they said just this much and we felt so bad about it, then imagine how bad those girls must feel,” he said, adding that women are subjected to extremely inappropriate remarks.
Comments Gone Beyond Acceptable Limits
When asked about his earlier statement that he felt molested by certain comments, the young spiritual leader said some users had gone beyond acceptable limits. “Yes, there are some comments in which we felt very molested, that this has crossed all limits. The boundaries of decency have been severely overstepped and violated,” he said.
