Chinmayi Sripaada, a well-known Indian playback singer, took to Twitter to lash out at Abhirami Venkatachalam, an actress, for supporting the Kalakshetra Foundation. The Kalakshetra Foundation is a well-known Indian cultural institution that has been embroiled in controversy recently. Sripaada criticized Venkatachalam for supporting the institution despite allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against some of its members.
Sripaada’s tweet accused Venkatachalam of being “uninformed” and “insensitive” for supporting an institution that allegedly promotes sexual harassment and abuse. She also called out the foundation for its lack of action and accountability towards the victims of such abuse.
The Kalakshetra Foundation has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by several former students and employees, with allegations dating back to the 1980s. Despite the allegations, the foundation has not taken any concrete steps to address the issue or provide justice to the victims.
Sripaada’s criticism of Venkatachalam’s support for the foundation highlights the need for accountability and action in cases of sexual harassment and abuse. It also emphasizes the importance of supporting victims and survivors of such abuse, rather than blindly supporting institutions and individuals who have been accused of misconduct.
