South Indian actor Radha Ravi is confronting some serious kickback post making offensive remarks on actress Nayanthara at an event recently.
Reportedly, Ravi was quoted saying, “Nayanthara has acted as a ghost and as goddess Sita as well. Earlier, KR Vijaya was the most popular choice to play the role of a goddess. Today, anyone can be cast to play a goddess. They can cast someone who you want to pray to when you look at them, they can also cast someone you want to call when you see them.”
Numerous celebs from the Tamil and Telugu industry came out in help of Nayanthara and criticised Radha Ravi on social media and the most recent one to join the rundown from Bollywood is Taapsee Pannu.
The Pink actress tweeted, “This is disgusting beyond words. Who asked him about casting pre-requisite and is he the president of character certificate association? This comes for one of the strongest actresses of the industry, I can only wonder what he might have to say about others.”—IANS
