Kamal Haasan has been under fire from singer Chinmayi Sripada for supporting the wrestlers` protest but remaining silent over her Me Too charges. Chinmayi Sripada had earlier blamed lyricist Vairamuthu for sexually abusing her.
Chinmayi wrote on Twitter, "How does one trust politicians who speak for women’s safety while they ignore harassment right under their noses?"
Chinmayi replied to Kamal Haasan`s tweet in protests by athletes of the wrestling fraternity and wrote, "5 years of a singer in Tamilnadu being banned for naming a molester right in front of their eyes and not a pip about it since the poettu has their respect."
She added, "How does one trust politicians who speak for women’s safety while they ignore harassment right under their noses? Just. Asking. Now while my timeline will blow up with abuse, shouting, and yelling imma gonna exit. Buhbye!."
