Valli was about to board the bus and the conductor stretched out his hand to help her get on the bus. Valli said commandingly that she does not require any help and could get on by herself. She behaved like as a grown-up girl and therefore, the conductor called her ‘madam’ in an effort to tease her. When the elderly man called her a child and asked her to sit down on her seat out of concern, she replied that nobody was a child on the bus. She kept stressing on the fact that she had paid her fare like everybody else and therefore, she should not be treated differently.
