Another woman accuses Vijay Babu of sexual misconduct, says she gave up on her dream to enter the Malayalam movie industry

Days, after actor-producer Vijay Babu was booked for alleged sexual assault, yet another woman accused him of sexual misconduct. On Friday (Apr 29), a woman anonymously published a note posted on Women Against Sexual Harassment Facebook page, wherein she accused Vijay Babu of trying to kiss her without consent.

In the post, the woman has shared that she met Vijay Babu in November 2021, for professional reasons, and during their conversations, certain personal issues came up and Vijay Babu was keen to offer her help.He was allegedly drinking alcohol, offered her, which she denied. And according to her, as the third person, who was with them stepped out of the room, Vijay Babu leaned and tried to kiss her on the lips, without consent, however, she stepped back in reflex and said no. Though she expressed disinterest, Vijay Babu asked “Just one kiss”, to which the woman said no, and he later apologized and requested her not to divulge the incident to anyone.


In the note, the woman also added that following the incident, she decided to give up on her dreams to enter the Malayalam film industry. “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 realized that we just knew each other hardly for 20-30 minutes, within this time frame he made his first movement. I wondered how many women would have faced much more worse experience. I decided to bring up this after reading the recent incident which happened to an actress from him. I understand through what all she had gone through. When some group of people is saying against her I was not able keep quiet, as I know, he is someone who would do this. He is someone who tries to utilize vulnerable women offering help. So I want to state that I’m here to raise my voice for the rape survivor. I’m ready to withstand her. She deserves justice. Also, by removing or punishing people like him, the myths about the film industry - "not safe for women" should be proved wrong for women like me to not be scared to step in (sic),” the note read.
