Ever since Kollywood actor Radha Ravi made obnoxious comments on Nayanthara the other day, there has been all-round criticism. However, actor Siddharth suggested that Nayan was silent when the 'Me Too' movement was at its peak last year. The 'Bommarillu' actor meant good but the comments were untimely.

Some sections of commentators, including Nayan's beau Vignesh Shivan, have said that Sid shouldn't have made the comments on the actress at a time when she is the target of a misogynist like Radha Ravi.

As a well-meaning person, Sid has withdrawn his comments. "I was shocked that my entire fraternity was either silent or cynical about the #MeToo movement; I silently rued the fact that it would take only the anger of a powerful woman to make the sleeping wake up. If you speak up only when your own are affected, it's not called bravery.

My last tweets fail to communicate what I feel clearly, owing to me needing more words to clarify them. I am deleting them out of respect to women and survivors. There is no need for muddled statements from men like me at this stage. The #metoo movement is more important. Sorry," he tweeted out.
