Both Sona and Chinmayi have been advocating the Me Too movement in India.
Chinmayi took to Twitter on Friday to slam Kamal Haasan for supporting wrestlers’ protest and questioned, “How can we trust politicians who claim to speak for women’s safety while ignoring harassment happening right under their noses?”
She also anticipated that she will be targeted by fans of the actor online.

“Needless to say, there is an overwhelming amount of anger. Many supporters of Kamal Haasan ask me the same questions rape apologist – survivor shaming that those opposing our Indian wrestlers have asked. The playbook to shame women who name powerful molesters remains the same. Whether it’s DMK, BJP, or MNM, they all follow it, only using different language,” she wrote in another Twitter post.
According to reports, Chinmayi also shared screenshots of the inquiries she has been receiving.
“Let me reiterate – I am fighting an ACTUAL FORMAL WORK BAN for exposing a molester. Radha Ravi, with his substantial funds and strong BJP connections, has filed a court case against me. I had every right to question an actor who has now become a politician, urging him to clean up the industry he once dominated and make it a safer space for women like me to speak up. I shouldn’t be persecuted for it. It was a simple request,” the singer went on to explain.
