Vairamuthu was accused of sexual harassment by Chinmayi Sripaada.
International Women’s Day was celebrated all over the world on March 8. The day highlighted women’s issues and raised awareness for their rights as well. Many celebrities shared a special post on this occasion on social media. One such post was from Tamil lyricist-poet Vairamuthu. He tweeted a poem, which highlighted the fact that in Tamil culture, women will always remain superior to men in every field. He also wrote that the mother was the first teacher of a child. Vairamuthu also tweeted a picture with esteemed female dignitaries from an event. A closer look reveals a banner of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party.

Social media users were filled with praise for the renowned lyricist and his commendable work. They appreciated how wonderfully he articulated the essence of women’s rights and empowerment. One user tweeted that on a large level, men are yet to raise their voices in favour of women’s rights.
கைத் தட்டலில் வளையோசை கூடுதலாய் கேட்தற்கு காரணம்நீங்கள் எடுத்து சொன்ன உண்மை ஆண்கள் கரஒலி குறைய காரணம்இன்னமும் மனது மாறாமை— குளித்தலைமனோ (@KULTALAIMANODMK) March 9, 2023
Another fan appreciated Vairamuthu for motivating the women to take part in book festivals. According to one user, these intellectual gatherings are best, and that too on an occasion for women’s day.
புத்தகத் திருவிழாவும்;மகளிர் தினமும் ஒன்றாய் அமைந்தது கூடுதல் சிறப்பு…கவிஞரின் தேன்தமிழ் பருகிய தேனி மக்களுக்கு வாழ்த்துகள்…ஐயாவுக்கு அன்பும்;வணக்கமும்— நா.தேன்நிலவன் (@THENNIL94138652) March 9, 2023
Not everyone was in for praises though. After reading Vairamuthu’s poem on women’s day, Tamil singer Chinmayi Sripaada mocked him with a tweet of hers. Vairamuthu was accused of sexual harassment by Chinmayi in 2018.
Chinmayi was initially apprehensive to reveal the name of the person who tried to make unwelcome advances towards her. She later revealed that the perpetrator was Vairamuthu, who had allegedly made lewd advances towards her during a recording session. She also accused him of retaliating by blacklisting her from the industry. She claimed that several other women had also been harassed by Vairamuthu, but were afraid to speak out.
After this revelation by Chinmayi, many other women in the industry also demanded action against Vairamuthu.
அவ்வீட்டு வாசலை தாண்டும்பொழுது காம வெறியர்களை கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;பாதுகாப்பு கேட்க்கிறாள். பாலியல் குற்றவாளிகளை அடையாளம் காட்டும்பொழுது அவதூரு கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;நியாயம் கேட்கிறாள். I can’t get over how he speaks about women’s lib and safety. The gall. https://t.co/E1671ftmn7
