Singer Chinmayi Sripaada strongly responded to a user on X who questioned her commitment to advocating for women’s issues, despite her own experiences with sexual harassment. The singer has been outspoken about various societal issues, especially concerning violence against women. In 2005, she accused lyricist Vairamuthu of sexual harassment, a claim that resonates within the ongoing conversations about accountability in the music industry.
The incident sparked after her husband, Rahul Ravindran, made headlines with a statement regarding traditional customs. Chinmayi replied to the ensuing backlash, expressing concern for women’s safety: “The amount of hate directed at him is alarming.”
In reaction to a troll’s comment suggesting she shouldn’t advocate for other women, Chinmayi fiercely defended her stance, stating, “Getting molested is not my fault. Why do people like you bring up my trauma to dismiss my advocacy?”
During the #MeToo movement in India, Chinmayi revealed her experiences with sexual abuse, urging others to speak out. Her outspokenness resulted in her estrangement from several industry circles, showcasing the complexities women face when challenging powerful figures. Married to Rahul Ravindran since May 2014, the couple welcomed twins in 2022.
