He expressed disappointment over the incident and hoped the government would change its laws to punish culprits who commit crimes against women.

"I hope that she recovers. I hope the system changes its laws to punish such terrible culprits who indulge in violence against women," he said.

He also said women are half the strength of the country.

"I always believed that women are half the strength of this country. They are fifty percent of our strength. Women should be given dignity and value in our society," the actor said.
