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

There is something wrong with the way men are brought up in India. STOP. You do not decide how women dress or the choices she makes. Mind your own business. https://t.co/gCiFYq9rAd

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”.
This video, the crowd reaction, and some of the replies to the tweet are extremely distressing lol we have a LONG way to go https://t.co/bI81CrbQPy
