Singer Chinmayi Sripaada supports Women sexually harassed at AR Rahman’s Concert in Chennai
It was sheer unfortunate, that the Oscar award-winning music composer AR Rahman was
thwacked for poor organisation of his Chennai concert.
Singer Chinmayi Sripada also reacted to the stampede like situation amid music maestro’s concert in Chennai on Sunday September 10.
Taking to her official X account on Tuesday, Chinmayi penned a long note in support of women who were allegedly molested during the event.
Chinmayi is quite active on social media and she often shares her views on various issues. She tweeted, that to the girls whose trauma she shares – a core memory, as her body keeps score: It is not your shame. It is not your fault. A trauma that doesn’t scratch away, scrub away, wash away. You did not deserve this.
She also reacted to AR Rahman’s concert fiasco saying
Rahman, “You deserved music, you deserved fun, you deserved joy, you deserved a concert experience that made you cry; cry from joy you felt from the music, from feelings that evoked nostalgia. You deserved warmth, the shared euphoria from other fans as everyone sang along, shouted along, jumped along to songs that we love to vibe and groove to. You deserved an experience that made you recount it with love, think of it with fondness and wish for the next one to make a beautiful new memory associated with this magical beautiful thing called music, with a musician we adore”
Women present at the concert were harassed and groped by men taking advantage of the crowd. Horrific ordeals of concert-goers have surfaced on social media platforms.
While netizens lashed out at the event organisers for the fiasco, several celebs like actor Karthi and singer Shweta Mohan defended AR Rahman.
Meanwhile, Chinmayi often makes headlines for her views on various issues. She has been subjected to a lot of abuse on social media since she spoke out for the #MeToo movement and named some prominent figures in the Tamil film industry who exploit women and attempted to engage in sexual misconduct with girls.
