Kalki Koechlin groped outside National Awards venue?

Kalki Koechlin, who was in the capital on Tuesday (May 3) to receive the National Award, was apparently groped outside the venue.

The 63rd National Awards were held at the Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi, and Kalki was honoured with the Special Jury Award for her performance in Margarita With A Straw. However, an occasion that was supposed to have left Kalki ecstatic, soon took an ugly turn once the actor left the venue.

A report in Spotboye says that Kalki was on her way out after collecting her award, when the security personnel assigned to her moved forward to where Amitabh Bachchan and Kangana Ranaut were. Kalki was left without an escort. Soon, the actor realised that the  mob was closing in on her, and before long, she was groped too, says the report.

Kalki managed to extricate herself from the mob and rushed inside to complain to the organisers of the event. She is said to have contemplated filing a police complaint too, but later changed her mind.

While several questions have been raised about the security arrangements at the National Awards venue this year, Kalki is yet to officially confirm the incident.
