Chinmayi calls out Kamal Haasan for praising Vichitra for not naming those who sexually harassed her

When actor Vichitra recently alleged on Bigg Boss Tamil season 7 that she had faced abuse on the sets of one of the films she worked on in the 90s, many were shocked by her revelation. Chinmayi called out Kamal Haasan ‘His speech will have ramifications’ Chinmayi released a long statement on X, part of which called out Kamal for encouraging Vichitra for not naming her abuser. He encourages the audience to applaud what he terms as 'mature behaviour', somehow insinuating THIS is how survivors should speak about sexual harassment in a socially palatable, acceptable manner.” ‘ICC/POSH unit are the need of the hour’ She also reinstated that she has been asking for the last five years that a ICC/POSH unit be set up in the entertainment industry. Today, a female dubbing artiste has been terminated because she went to the police station to report a case of sexual harassment in a dubbing studio.” Times have changed She also pointed out that back then, Radha Ravi had asked Vichitra to complain to the police but today, any victim would be encouraged to do otherwise. Today the Dubbing Union warns members NOT to go to the Police Station, penalize you if you do, can harass others to NOT employ you if you go to the police to report a case of sexual harassment,” she wrote.
