Popular Tamil actor Sathish got into trouble for mocking a costume of an actress during a promotional event of his upcoming movie 'Oh my ghost'. While Sathish plays the lead role in this comedy-horror flick, it also stars Sunny Leone, Dharsha Gupta, and Yogi Babu in important roles. 

Speaking at the event, Sathish drew an unnecessary comparison between the choices of attires worn for the event by Sunny Leone and Dharsha Gupta and he passed an unsavory opinion on the latter during the movie's audio launch that put him in trouble. He said, "Sunny Leone has come all the way to Tamil Nadu from Bombay, and look at how she has beautifully dressed up for the event. On the other hand, we have a girl from Coimbatore… Dharsha Gupta… I am just pointing it out… how she (Sunny) has dressed up superbly according to our culture..." 

After a week, this speech of Sathish against Dharsha Gupta has become a problem for the actor as singer Chinmayi, director Naveen, and a few others accused the actor of interfering with women's individual rights. On Wednesday, singer Chinmayi, who is known for speaking out against violence on women, posted a video on her social media and asked when will this behaviour of men will stop. 

She wrote, "I mean - To actually *point* at a woman and ask for mass heckling of a crowd by a man on a woman who doesn’t dress according to culture. When will this behaviour from men stop? Its not funny." Expressing outcry with the same, director and actor Naveen shared a note on Thursday morning and wrote, "Sunny Leone appearing on screen naked and Coimbatore girl what to wear on stage is the personal right of the women. @actorsathish Bro, it is wrong for you to decide even what your wife should wear." 

After being surfaced with the outrage for his controversial remark, actor Sathish, in his response, requested the fans to share some of his wise sayings, having previously spoken out against drinking alcohol and smoking. He said that he is a good friend of Dharsha Gupta and that it was the actress who started comparing her outfit to Sunny Leone's when she was talking with him downstage. 

On Thursday - November 10, singer Chinmayi put out another tweet in which she said that Sathish called her and said he would be really watchful of his words in the future. She wrote, "Actor Satish happened to call and say that he really didn’t intend for it to come across like that. Looks like he has also released a video. Also mentioned he’ ll be really watchful of what he says in the future." Sathish's latest video of responding to criticism has also been going viral.
