In reply to the abuse by actor Radha Ravi, actress Nayanthara put out an official statement slamming the actor for his 'cheap comments'. The actress went on to ask for the implementation of an ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) for the South Indian Artiste's Association according to the Supreme Court of India guidelines.
The actress began her statement by saying that she avoids making statements as policy, but 'desperate times mandate desperate measures.' The actress thanked DMK president MK Stalin for his prompt suspension of Radha Ravi from the party for his remarks, before adding, "By demeaning the status of women and passing sexist remarks, these retarded men get a feeling of machismo."
