Chinmayi Sripaada has been in the news for her ‘#MeToo’ allegations and participation in the movement against harassment in the places of work, specifically in the Indian Music Industry.
Recently, ‘Master’ heroine Malavika Mohanan Retweeted a fan-made cartoon titled ‘Master Team in quarantine’ and called out the depiction of her in the kitchen as a sexist stereotype.
Her Retweet read, “The task of a woman even in a hypothetical ‘movie house’ is to cook? When will gender roles die? Sigh.” Her Tweet had later been deleted.
Singer Chinmayi Sripaada took to Twitter on Monday to express her opinion on the issue. Her message reads, “A professional actor questions a fan-made illustration for portraying HER ‘role’ in a way SHE didn’t like. She gets bullied, abused and harassed into deleting her tweet. Said sexist ‘cartoon’ gets close to 1000 Retweets.”
The National Award-winning singer and dubbing artist’s last film was the Prem Kumar directorial ‘96’, in which she has dubbed for Trisha and sang six songs for the album composed by Govind Vasantha.
