Chinmayi Sripada Calls Out Netizen for Bringing Her Sexual Abuse Incident

It all started after a quote from Chinmayi's husband, Rahul Ravindran, garnered attention on X (formerly Twitter), in which he said that it was Chinmayi's choice whether to wear a mangalsutra or not after marriage. He said, "After our marriage I told my wife Chinmayi that its her choice whether to wear 'mangalsutra' or not. I even suggested not wearing it because it's unfair that men have no visible sign of being married  while women are expected to have one."

Chinmayi replied to the tweet saying, "He literally said it in some context on an interview, which has become a tweet. The rage from men calling him all sorts og absues - I am worried for the women here truth be told." In repose, a user asked her, "You couldn't save your a** when Vairamuthu allegedly groped you but here you are worried for other women."

Chinmayi didn't hold bak and replied to the user saying, "Yes. Because getting groped is MY fault. Why do men like you have to bring up my sexual assault episode and molester to prove some non-point? Just please vanish into thin air in Delhi so I don't have to breathe it."
