Bigg Boss contestant trolled for posting 'too sexy' pictures

69-year-old actress and former Bigg Boss Malayalam contestant Rajini Chandy recently posted pictures from a photoshoot where she looked stunning in a variety of clothes ranging from a denim dress to a jumpsuit. However, trolls managed to invade the actress' comments section with slut-shaming remarks.
Speaking in an interview with a news agency about the pictures, clicked by 29-year-old photographer Athira Joy, and the subsequent harassment she faced from social media users, Rajini Chandy reportedly said, In December, Athira asked me if I'd be interested in doing a photoshoot and whether I had any inhibitions wearing Western clothes. I said no, I used to wear them all the time when I was younger. I told her I even have a photograph in a swimsuit. Rajini talked about the nasty comments she received after posting the pictures online. I was called a slut. Someone asked me, 'Haven't you died yet?' Another suggested that I 'sit at home and read the Bible. This is your age to pray, not show off your body.' Yet another person said I was an old auto-rickshaw and even if I got a new coat of paint, I'd still be old, she said.
The 69-year-old actress added that she found it upsetting that the derogatory remarks were made by men as well as women. A lot of young men find sexiness in older women disturbing, they don't want to think of them as an object of desire. But what I found surprising was that most of the negative comments were made by women. I'm really outspoken, so maybe a lot of people don't like me. But I tell them, instead of wasting your time on me, why don't you use your energy to do a good turn for your country or the world or the Mother Earth? she added.
