Singer Chinmayi Sripada has called out actor-comedian Sathish over his comments on his co-star Dharsha Gupta's wardrobe choice at a recent event. Chinmayi shared a video, which is from the audio launch of Sunny Leone, Dharsha Gupta and Sathish's upcoming film Oh My Ghost in Chennai, and slammed him for defining the ethics and culture of a woman on the basis of her outfit. At the event, Sunny Leone arrived dressed in a green saree while Dharsha Gupta wore a blue outfit. Pointing at Dharsha Gupta's sartorial choice for the day, Sathish said that Sunny Leone, who is from Mumbai, has worn a saree but Dharsha, who is from Coimbatore, chose to wear a western dress. Sathish later clarified at the event that he made the statement on a lighter note and that he was only appreciating Sunny Leone for adapting to his culture. However, his comment did not go down well with Chinmayi Sripada.
Chinmayi Sripada, in a tweet on Wednesday, criticised Sathish for defining a woman's culture by her clothes. “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.”
Actor Sathish has not reacted to the clip or the singer's tweet yet.
