Simran Budharup Claims Man Touched Her, Threw Phone Twice

Pandya Store actor Simran Budharup has shared a frightening account of a street argument that she says turned physical. In a social media post, she alleged that a man touched her during the confrontation and threw her phone twice after she objected to the way she was being spoken to.

What Simran says happened

Simran said the incident began while she was waiting for a pani puri parcel. She had parked her car near a gate and told a watchman that she was only there temporarily and would move as soon as her order was ready.

According to her account, the exchange escalated when the watchman spoke to her disrespectfully. When she raised her voice and asked him to stop, another man approached her aggressively. Simran alleged that he touched her, and when she repeatedly told him not to, he threw her phone away twice.

The police response and the point she is making

Simran said she approached the police after the incident. She claimed she was told she could not file a complaint because her phone had not been broken and there was no damage. Simran questioned that reasoning, saying the issue was not limited to the phone.

For her, the concern was the unwanted physical contact and intimidation. She used the post to talk about women’s safety and to encourage women not to feel powerless when faced with aggressive behaviour.

Why this is hitting home with TV fans

For television viewers, the story lands differently because Simran is a familiar face from Pandya Store. Her post has become part of a wider discussion about whether women are believed or taken seriously when there is no visible injury or damage. The fact that she shared a video also matters: it gives fans a sense of what she says unfolded, rather than a text-only allegation.

The exchange is a reminder that public spaces can turn hostile over small things, and that the first response to a complaint may focus on the wrong question. In Simran’s telling, the problem was never a cracked screen; it was being touched after saying no.

Here is what women in similar situations can do, based on her message:

• Say it clearly: If someone touches you or crosses a line, state that you do not consent.
• Document it: A video, photo or quick note of the place, time and people can help later.
• Report it: Ask for the complaint process and do not accept that no damage means no problem.

Simran’s post has drawn support online, with many viewers connecting it to their own experiences. The larger point is about consent, public safety and pushing back when a system seems to treat damage to property as more important than a person’s dignity.
