In a detailed narrative provided to ETimes, Ashwath described the frightening ordeal. He narrated, “As I was strolling towards Galata Tower, a man approached me with a chain in his hand. Before I could fully grasp the situation, he struck me on the back with it. In hindsight, it appeared to be a coordinated effort by a group attempting to grab my bag… for a moment, I was utterly shocked – what was happening?”
Despite the surprise of the attack, Ashwath bravely resisted the robber’s attempt to steal his bag. A passing taxi driver intervened, causing the assailant to flee. Unfortunately, the actor suffered injuries during the scuffle.

Underscoring the importance of reporting such incidents, Ashwath urged fellow tourists not to be deterred by the inconvenience. He expressed, “It’s regrettable that such an incident occurred, especially in a tourist-laden area. People often perceive Turkey through a romantic lens due to films, but if we don’t report crimes, they will only proliferate. While I had been cautioned about pickpockets, this exceeded all expectations.” Ashwath has lodged a complaint with local authorities and is presently recuperating from the distressing experience.
For the uninitiated, Ashwath has appeared in several notable films, including “Mission Majnu,” “Sita Ramam,” “Raaz Reboot,” “Rakkhosh,” “Phantom,” “Kesari,” and “Haider.”
