Chinmayi Sripada stripteases Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan is known for his free and frank talk and express his views boldly on controversial topics.

It is known that Kamal Haasan, came in support of wrestlers who have been fighting against the sexual harassment. s Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and others have been protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by female athletes.

Coming in support of the wrestlers, Kamal Haasan posted, ‘Today marks 1 month of protests by athletes of the wrestling fraternity. Instead of fighting for national glory, we have forced them to fight for personal safety. Fellow Indians, who deserves our attention, our national sporting icons or a politician with an extensive criminal history? I stand with my champions. Wrestler's protest’ (sic).”

But Chimanyi Sripada reacting to Kamal's tweet sought to expose his double standards. Sharing her feelings, she posted “5 years of a singer in Tamil Nadu being banned for naming a molester right in front of their eyes and not a pip about it since the poet has their respect. 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 (sic).” Chinmayi tweeted in response to Kamal Haasan's tweet.

She continued, “Needless to say there is soooo much anger. So many Kamal Haasan supporters ask me the same survivor-shaming questions that those opposing our Indian wrestlers have said. The playbook to shame women who name powerful molesters is the exact same… I had all the right to question an actor, who is now a politician to clean up the yard he artistically ruled and it make the space safer for women like me to speak up. Not be incarcerated for it. It was a simple ask. My case has been going on and on and on since November 2018 with multiple people from the Film Industry shaming me for speaking up…”

It is known that Chinmayi spoke about the noted lyricist Vairamuthi in 2018 accusing him of sexually harassing her when the two were in Switzerland for a concert titled Veezhamattom in 2005.
