Abhirami Venkatachalam is an Indian film actress, model, and a talented dancer who primarily works in the Tamil film industry. The Kalashetra Foundation in Chennai is known for its rich cultural heritage and history. It is a hub of various art forms, including dance, music, and theater. The Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts is one of the most prestigious institutions in the foundation, offering courses in dance, music, and theater. Recently, the college has been embroiled in controversy after several students alleged that they were being sexually harassed by a teacher.

The allegations surfaced after a group of students staged a sit-in protest, demanding action against the teacher. The police were alerted, and they conducted an investigation into the matter. The teacher, Haripadman, was arrested after a sex complaint was filed against him. The rest of the faculty members were suspended pending an inquiry.

The incident has created a stir in the film industry, with many actresses and film industry celebrities condemning the teacher and supporting the victims.

In response to the criticism, Abirami posted a statement on her Instagram page. In her statement, she defended her comments, saying that not all women in the film industry were like Kutty Padmini and that the issue was being politicized.

Kutty Padmini came with a question “நீங்கள் திரைத்துறையில் இருப்பதால் ஒருவர் உங்களை தொடுவது என்பது எந்த ஃபீலும் உங்களுக்கு இருக்காது. ஆனால் மற்ற பெண்களும் அப்படியா?” on her interview.

For this statement, Abhirami gave a headshot reply by saying “திரைத்துறையில் இருக்கும் எல்லா பெண்களும் உங்களை மாதிரி இருக்க மாட்டார்கள் குட்டி பத்மினி ஆண்ட்டி. உங்களுக்கு எந்த ஃபீலிங்கும் வரவில்லை என நினைக்கும் போது வருத்தமாக உள்ளது. ஒன் மோர் விஷயம் உங்களுக்கே பத்திக்கிட்டு வருதுன்னா, நல்ல குடும்பத்துல பிறந்த எங்களுக்கு எவ்ளோ எரியும் ஆண்ட்டி! நாங்க பாத்துக்குறோம் ஆண்ட்டி. இந்த வயசான காலத்துல நீங்க உடம்ப பாத்துக்கோங்க”.

The comments made by Kutty Padmini in her interview with the media were seen as insensitive by many people. She questioned Abirami’s ability to understand the plight of women outside the film industry and suggested that Abirami was not sensitive to the issue of sexual harassment. Her comments were seen as an attempt to undermine the seriousness of the issue and shift the focus away from the victims.

The incident has once again brought to the fore the issue of sexual harassment in educational institutions. The incident has highlighted the need for more stringent measures to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. Educational institutions need to take proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of their students and staff members.

The film industry, too, needs to take responsibility for the safety and security of its members. The industry has been known to be male-dominated, and instances of sexual harassment have been reported in the past. The industry needs to take proactive measures to address this issue and ensure that its members are safe from harassment and exploitation.
