Playback singer Chinmayi Sripada, who is also a renowned dubbing artist, recently commented that it is a misfortune to be born as a woman in India. She described India as a "stupid" country and men who muzzle the freedom of women while telling them what to wear and how to behave as "ignorant".
Reacting to her comments, a student named Kumar Sagar from the University of Hyderabad lodged a police complaint in Gachibowli. "Speaking negatively about India is not the appropriate approach," he has been quoted as saying.
It is unlikely that the comments will stand any legal scrutiny. If Chinmayi drags the student to court, the latter might actually admonish him. For the student though, this is transient fame in his social circle.
