Chinmayi Sripada criticized actor Jiiva for dismissing concerns about sexual exploitation in Tamil cinema. She expressed her disappointment on social media. During a recent event, Jiiva downplayed the issue by stating that such incidents only occur in Malayalam cinema, leading to significant backlash. “I heard about it too. It’s wrong. We had #MeToo part 1 and now part 2 has come. Now, people are openly naming them [abusers]. It’s wrong. We should have a healthy atmosphere in cinema,” she said.
