Hyderabad: Singer Chinmayi Sripada has slammed actor-comedian Sathish over his distasteful comments on his co-star Dharsha Gupta’s wardrobe choice at a recent event.
Taking to Twitter, Chinmayi shared a video from the audio launch of Sunny Leone, Dharsha Gupta and Sathish’s upcoming film ‘Oh My Ghost’ in Chennai, and called out the actor for defining a woman’s culture by her clothes.

In the video, Sathish was heard pointing out at Dharsha Gupta’s choice of outfit. Sathish said that Sunny Leone, who is from Mumbai, has worn a sari but Dharsha, who is from Coimbatore, chose to wear a western dress. He later clarified at the event that he made the statement on a lighter note and was only appreciating Sunny Leone for adapting to the culture.
Sharing her views on the issue, Chinmayi wrote, “I mean – To actually point at a woman and ask for mass heckling of a crowd by a man on a woman who doesn’t dress according to culture. When will this behaviour from men stop?” she wrote and added, “It’s not funny.”

Even more distasteful that the comment be made in a language not followed by the person being targeted https://t.co/fwiTVlXkyc

However, the singer also receives flak in some of her comments with some users asking her to respect the “culture” or not to make a big deal of a “joke”.
