At a press conference in Hyderabad on Wednesday, Telugu actor Sivaji reaffirmed his belief that it is crucial for actresses to wear modestly when attending functions. Ironically, he said that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was "luckily" wearing a saree while blaming Nidhhi Agerwal for "provoking" the crowd with her attire. Nidhhi spoke up about the matter.

Nidhhi Agerwal reacts to Sivaji's comment

On December 17, Nidhhi attended a song launch in Hyderabad's Lulu Mall with the cast of her next movie, The Raja Saab. She and her security are seen struggling in the crowd as she is surrounded by many men in a video from the event. As she gets into her car, the actor appears to be shaken by it. Nidhhi first spoke out about the matter following Sivaji's press conference. Without mentioning him, she posted a photo of herself from the incident along with the caption, "Blaming the victim is called manipulation."
