Character artiste Radha Ravi's recent comments on Nayanthara have been deemed extremely offensive, misogynistic and obnoxious. The Kollywood film personality, who has also headed certain industry bodies in the past, has been roundly condemned by people from several fields for talking cheaply about a woman. His speech had double entendre.

It was the Tamil regional media and Kollywood which was the first to react to the ugly comments. Vishal and others were quick to call out Radha Ravi. Slowly, sections of national media too reported the issue, lending strength to the anti-Radha Ravi sentiment.

The DMK, the political party, has suspended the actor for the comments. Radha Ravi, by the way, is a well-connected man.

Meanwhile, Nayanthara's beau, Vignesh Shivan, has condemned those who have expressed displeasure over the actress' silence on the Me Too movement in the past.
