I had also found the strength to tell Rahul and my In Laws only then. Thankfully my family is made of rockstars. Father in law asked me not to be scared and that I neednt go if I didn’t want to.
Mr Vairamuthu was apparently “tracking me with the help of ‘Intelligence’.”

Mr Vairamuthu claimed that Sri Kalaignar was angry with me because I had ‘delivered a speech on stage insulting him’ (which never happened) Mr Vairamuthu said he was trying to patch things up for my ‘good and safety’. I told 2 friends I will not name. I was asked not to be scared
I then called his office and said I am not scared. I finally found my voice then. Ever since I thankfully didn’t get forced to sing at any of his events.
He’d call to ask to meet me at his office, bring my resume so that he’d recommend me for the National Awards. Avoided too.

The point is Mr Vairamuthu ALWAYS dropped names. What he said may not even have been true but it intimidated young girls like me.
He was with the most powerful men in the industry and in politics.
Why wouldn’t we be scared?

6. Finally, as per whatever legal recourse is available to me, I filed a complaint in writing with the NCW last year. Tried asking what is possible. The NCW has sent several reminders for investigation to no avail.
7. In the meanwhile Mr Radha Ravi’s Dubbing Union banned me from working in November. Mr Radha Ravi is now a member of the BJP. He was with the DMK then and got expelled for his derogatory comments on Nayantara.
++ I get shamed in court a LOT by his lawyer. Have an interim injunction but Mr. Radha Ravi’s team makes sure they intimidate everyone into not working with me. One man who stood against it was @Psmithran
8. Mr Vairamuthu called X to make me shut up and reach “ a compromise” with me last October. And I asked X to step back and not get involved in this.
9. Most Tamil Media stood against me. Slut shamed me. They are told not to ask him
Questions on sexual harassment and they obey

In India today you can perhaps get justice for hurting religious sentiments but not so much for sexual harassment.
Governments could’ve set up independent investigation committees. They CAN help us. But they dont.
All that’s left is My voice.
And I have a right to expression.
