Bigg Boss Tamil 3: Eliminated Contestant Meera Mithun Reveals How Filmmaker Cheran Made Insulting Racist Comments on Her

Cheran is a popular filmmaker of Kollywood, four time National Film Award winner. Meera Mithun who got eliminated in the last week’s eviction episode, revealed how this filmmaker, who is also a contestant in Bigg Boss Tamil 3, made insulting racist comments on her. The tiff between Meera and director Cheran has turned out to be one of the most controversial episode. In the interview she mentioned how she managed to ignore his racist comments ‘twice’. Bigg Boss Tamil 3 Contestant Saravanan Apologises for Crass Remark on Groping Women in Public Transport.

On the fall-out with Cheran, Meera Mithun told The Hindu, “Look, I know the opinion about that incident is divisive, but there’s no way I was going to let violent behaviour of any kind remain unaddressed. I go online and see people dig old videos of my Latin dance performance during a reality show, and troll me saying I’m known for this kind of behaviour.”

Meera Mithun was further quoted as saying, “Cheran had earlier called me dark, and that my skin was too black. Not just once, but twice, even when he was the ‘naatamai’. I didn’t make a big deal about the racist insults and ignored it; I didn’t want to come across like I was disrespecting a popular director. He had also raised his voice and yelled at me many times too — is this the famed Tamil culture he talks about, men shouting at women in the society?” Bigg Boss Tamil 3: Twitterati Lashes Out at Saravanan After He Casually Admits to Molesting Women on Kamal Haasan’s Show (Watch Video).

Besides director Cheran’s racist comment on Meera Mithun, the other issue going on in Bigg Boss Tamil 3 is the comment made by actor Saravanan. It was just in the last week’s episode he made a statement on how he used to grope women inappropriately while travelling in a bus during his college days. In the latest episode he also apologised for his crass remark. Stay tuned for more updates.
