Retweeting the ‘Nayakan’ star’s tweet supporting the ongoing wrestler’s protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, she called out his lack of support when she faced a boycott by the Tamil film industry for naming her molester. “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. How does one trust politicians who speak for women’s safety while they ignore harassment right under their noses? ’’
Her tweet went viral on Twitter and accumulated more than 821K views and 4612 likes. However, she was hounded by the superstar’s fans.
“I never seen you where asking this question to any other actors or politicians (who have power)till now? If our leader voiced out for women's safety now you are awake and questioning him which is sad. Any leader has guts like Kamal sir and how many voices you have seen for this issue?” wrote a Twitter user. Another fan commented, “What nonsense is this? Attention seeking has become an addiction for you..”
Some of her peers, however, came to her defense. Singer Sona Mohapatra, known to be a vocal advocate for social justice, slammed her trollers. “To hell with dimwits who try to shame you,” she wrote.
Who Is Chinmayi Sripaada?
She is a prominent playback singer, voice-over actor, radio jockey, and entrepreneur. She rose to fame through the hit song ‘Oru Deivam Thantha Poovae’ from the 2002 award-winning film ‘Kannathil Muthamittal’. Although mainly active in the South Indian industry, she also has some hit Hindi songs to her credit such as ‘Tere Bina’ and ‘Mayya’ (in the 2007 film ‘Guru’), ‘Titli’ ( for the 2013 SRK-Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Chennai Express’), ‘Zehnaseeb’ (‘Hasee Toh Phasee’) and ‘Mast Magan’ (for the Alia Bhatt film ‘2 States’).
In 2018, after she accused poet-lyricist Vairamuthu of sexual harassment, she was dropped from the Tamil Film Dubbing Union. Later on, she revealed that a lot of singing offers came to a standstill post her #MeToo allegations. n
