For acting in a scene that blames women for the kind of clothes they are wearing, Suriya and Vijay, top tier actors of Tamil cinema are getting severely criticized by the users of online platforms. In the surging cases of crimes against women, awareness about the upbringing of a male children is being made by women safety organisations. Though the actors are not endorsing such scenes now, the nod they gave in the past to their directors is haunting them.

In the particular clip which is doing rounds in the micro blogging social media site, we can see the female lead being body shamed for the way she was dressing. Vijay who played the role Sivakasi questions Asin for not wearing a saree and can be seen saying that all the men would wish to live with her if she wears a sleeveless and shorts, in a way normalizing sexual harassment against women.

He who schools her on how to dress in public, would have completely forgotten about men who are causing the trouble in the first place. Ironically, the female who became a subject to slut shaming and body shaming would fall in love with him and the film became a block buster during its release time and gained the actor a mass appeal.

Watch video :

A twitter user shared the clip with a caption saying “i hate this scene with my whole heart, he really thought he did something😭”

As a Vijay fan, this is one scene I dislike the most. If a scene like this comes now it would be ripped to shreds

Man the fact that it’s Asin in both the scenes 😭 I haven’t watched this movie but is he actually giving character certificates to random women & giving them marks based on how they dress up/how much they spend? 😭 https://t.co/pTAMiQDfjd
