Popular South singer and dubbing artist Chinmayi Sripaada who is known for her outspoken nature has been making headlines once again. This time, Chinmayi slammed the Bigg Boss contestant and the Nerkondai Paarvai actress Abhirami Venkatachalam on social media after the actress supported the Kalakshetra Cultural Institution, where four teachers are accused of sexual harassment by many students.
This all started when Abhirami Venkatachalam interacted with the media and stated- ‘I am an alumni of Kalakshetra and an ex-student. I am not interested in commenting on this issue as we should not always hear one side of the story. So many comments have been made on this institution, which has been running for 89 years. Nothing of that sort happened to blame the institution. Even non-Kalakshetrans are talking about the institution.’
She further said- ‘People who cannot even spell Kalakshetra are talking about it. It’s hurting. As a student of Kalakshetra, I can see that people are defaming the institution. Even, we are clueless. I don’t know how people conclude that such things happen after hearing one side of the story.’
These statements by Abhirami Venkatachalam irked controversy on social media. Netizens also trolled the actress for defending the school instead of lending support to the students. The actress also took an indirect dig at Chinmayi.
Meanwhile reacting to this, Chinmayi took to her social media handles and slammed the actress by saying- – ‘Yet I’m still surprised when another like Abhirami shames me, the endless optimist that I still stupidly am. Maybe I should just be grateful that time exposes people for who they are. My deepest wish – may everyone get the lessons they deserve. And may time do the needful too.’
