More number of Film Celebrities have been joining the #MeToo Campaign after each passing day. Popular Playback Singer Chinmayi Sripaada disclosed what she has gone through as a kid and teenager - 'I was 8, maybe 9. I was sleeping. My mom was supervising a recording session for her documentary. Felt a man in priestly robes feel up my privates and I woke up. Told her 'that uncle is bad'. This was in the studio called Santhome Communications that still exists'.
At the age of 10, Chinmayi was pinched repeatedly by a person whom he addresses as Mama during a December Music Festival. 'In retrospect, a lot of children werenât safe around some adults,' she opined.
Chinmayi: 'To some men checking my shirt pocket to see if I had anything in them, thereby feeling my chest in my teens, having my first mobike accident that left my entire right arm scarred because of an eve teasing incident on Kilpauk bridge, a lot of us women learned to internalize'.
'I was perhaps 19; again, very respected, way older man called me to his office on a pretext, my mom was with me, I was called in alone; we suspected nothing because said man showed no such behaviour before, walked from behind his table, hugged me and felt me up. I remember leaving one of my footwear behind, hurriedly saying âBye Sirâ and running for my life, shaking all the while. Told my mom - she said this is some elder men's way to test to see if you are 'that type of a girl'. It was how 'elders' behaved in their wisdom, apparently'.
The Playback Singer spoke about the Online Harassment she faced from Youtube Reviewer Prashanth for asking him not to call him sweetheart.
