Veteran actor Radha Ravi is getting slammed left, right and centre for making distasteful remarks about Tollywood actress, Nayanthara. Now the latest update on the controversy is that Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has suspended the actor and party leader for his sexist remarks against the actress, states an India Today report.
Radha Ravi, was a chief guest at the launch of the trailer of Nayanthara’s film Kolaiyuthir Kaalam, where he made derogatory remarks against her and since then, netizens have been tearing him apart.
Not only this, his actions have left fraternity members fuming. Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has also slammed Radha Ravi and requested Nadigar Sangam (South Indian Artistes Union) to take action against him for 'abusing a successful female actor on stage'. And now, Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker too has taken to social media and written, “A sad and distressing reminder of the sickeningly consistent occurrence that women who call out & report sexual harassment at the workplace do so at the cost of their careers.. enough is enough! #TimeToChange #TimesUp Go @Chinmayi may your lovely voice ring loud, clear & true." She further tweeted, "Can Tamil speakers pls help.. what is this person saying exactly??"

India Today quoted Radha Ravi as, “Nayanthara is a star now and she is hailed as lady superstar. Some even compared her to Puratchi Thalaivar MGR and Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan. They're immortals and it is disheartening to see people include Nayanthara in the list. I agree that Nayanthara is a good actress and she is sustaining in the industry for several years. There have been several reports about her, yet she stands tall. Tamil Nadu people remember anything only for four days, then they forget, Now, she (Nayanthara) is a known face. She can act as a ghost and as Goddess Sita as well. Back in those days, if filmmakers had a goddess character in the film, they'd go for veteran actress KR Vijaya. But now, anybody can play the role. Paatha udane kumbudravangalayum podalam, paatha udane koopadravangalyum podalam (We can cast those who are respected and those who sleep around)."
