Kasthuri Shankar, the actress from 90's has been active on social media, mainly on Twitter. She decided about post a satire on how Indian media, is trying to cash in on the popularity of Sridevi for TRPs by telecasting her old hot songs and scenes.
She tweeted,
"All the news channels are showing songs and clips of Late Sridevi
Wondering what will happen when Sunny Leone expires someday
#facebook #forward"
This became a huge controversy for social media people and they started asking her about how she can tweet on such a sensitive topic in such a manner.
A person asked her how would feminists react, if a man reacted the same way,
"You have your space to share & comment. But tell me this - if a man had made this remark would your response be light-hearted?
Imagine the rage of female rights groups who descend from their manicured lawns with pedicured feet dishing out the choicest of abuses in their tweet. https://t.co/6dkUdVlkgD"
She immediately, tried to cool the situation, by saying that it is just a satire and nobody should take it too seriously, but the media.
"All of you getting hyper completely missed the point.
Its called Satire."
"the only skills i showed were copy and paste. And yes, I laughed. Dear me."
The person who talked about feminists ended it lightly and even advised her.
" I can clearly see that you are not entering politics in the near future as you are so candid & truthful.
But Twitter is not a safe zone - tread safely."
Kasthuri got some strong support too while many were cursing her sensibilities,
"Survival of the fittest. Everyone has their own story behind. But, the way she chosen was the question here. And, she is not talking about sunnyâs life here. She said about media and people for what they are taking much time."
"Sterlite ah kandukatha media Sri Devi ya cover pannudhu
Sunny Leone death appo Vera edhachum prachana varum appo media Sunny Leone ah cover pannittu iruppaanga"
She strongly replied by saying that media is not looking at talk about Sunny as much as they are interested in her body.
"exactly my point !!!
but they wont 'cover' sunny, only uncover her !"
Someone tried to ask her if she will happy about people playing the hot scenes from her own movies?
"Now, whatâs the difference between you and the @NewIndianXpress who published âDalit -ilayarajaâ? Both are such a shame to society. How about suggest a song for urself for channels go play? KuthuVilakku and #AAA scenes sounds good?"
She replied that she is happy to be a part of those films and won't regret her work.
"for some reason, you seem to think I am ashamed of my work. And you seem to be ashamed of Sunny's work. I am cool with it. Unga manasula thaan kuzhappam."
Well, the actress has become an attention seeker with few tweets what are aimed at stars of Tamil Cinema and this tweet too seems to be aimed at stirring up a controversy. She succeeded in doing so and replied to almost all the tweets.
The way media tried to hype up the death of a person should be under the scanner her, rather Kasthuri's hot scenes and unnecessary comparisons of Sunny Leone's work with Sridevi, have been doing rounds on social media now!!
