We have already reported about veteran actress Rekha revealing an incident from Punnagai Mannan shoot where Kamal Haasan kissed her without consent while shooting the film. A lot of mixed reactions are coming out for the incident now and popular singer Chinmayi is one among them who responded to it and voiced out her opinion. Like always, she revealed her strong and bold opinion on the issue.
Taking to Twitter, she posted, "This viral video of a non-consensual kiss where the men knew they’d orchestrate a kiss and it would be over in a shot was so normal. So was hitting and slapping and beating people on sets by great directors. It still happens. There are downright sadists who like physically assaulting, beating people on set. It is a power game. And these are grown men on sets working in various capacities that will be assaulted. Their stories aren’t spoken or heard. It has all been normalized and the abuse continues. Point is - Women have been raised, trained, nurtured and trained, generation after generation to sweep abnormal, bad behavior by men under the carpet and normalize it. Which is why the Sowcar Janaki - Y Gee Mahendra interview where she shamed the MeToo movement wasn’t surprising. Rekha mam spoke about the whole episode in a matter of fact manner, even included some laughs so that she isn't attacked, and her interviewer laughed as well. That’s the extent of normalization women have had to go into."
We have to see if Kamal Haasan fans or the actor himself has a say about it!
