Chinmayi  and Vairamuthu controversy is one of the most talked-about incidents in the Indian film industry in recent years. It began in 2018 when Chinmayi Sripaada, a well-known playback singer in the Tamil film industry, accused Vairamuthu, a prominent poet and lyricist, of sexual harassment.

The #MeToo movement had gained momentum in India in the wake of several high-profile cases of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. Chinmayi had initially shared her experience of being sexually harassed by an anonymous member of the Tamil film industry on social media. However, she later revealed that the perpetrator was Vairamuthu, who had allegedly made unwelcome advances towards her during a recording session.

He is known for his contribution to the Tamil film industry and has worked on several critically acclaimed films.

However, Chinmayi’s allegations against Vairamuthu were not limited to sexual harassment. She also accused him of retaliating against her by blacklisting her from the industry after she spoke out against him. She claimed that several other women had also been harassed by Vairamuthu but were afraid to speak out.

Many people have argued that there is a need for greater awareness and education about these issues, not just in the film industry but in all workplaces.

மாலையும் நகையும்
கேட்கவில்லை பெண்;
மதித்தல் கேட்கிறாள்

வீடும் வாசலும்
விரும்பவில்லை பெண்;
கல்வி கேட்கிறாள்

ஆடம்பரம் அங்கீகாரம்
ஆசைப்படவில்லை பெண்;
நம்பிக்கை கேட்கிறாள்

கொடுத்துப் பாருங்கள்;
அவளே பாதுகாப்பாள்
ஆண்களையும்

உலக
மகளிர் திருநாள் வாழ்த்து#மகளிர்தினம் | #WomensDay

அவ்வீட்டு வாசலை தாண்டும்பொழுது
காம வெறியர்களை கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;
பாதுகாப்பு கேட்க்கிறாள்.
பாலியல் குற்றவாளிகளை அடையாளம் காட்டும்பொழுது அவதூரு கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;
நியாயம் கேட்கிறாள்.
