Actor Anasuya Bharadwaj recently called out Sivaji for his misogynistic comments at a pre-release event for the movie Dhandoraa. The incident sparked widespread criticism on social media. In response, trolls targeted Anasuya, making ageist comments and calling her 'aunty'. Anasuya fired back, stating, 'I'm 40, and he must be 54.' She emphasized that she's been maintaining her 'glamour' for personal and professional reasons, unlike the trolls who seem to have 'eternal youth.' Anasuya's statement highlights the double standards applied to women. While she's being shamed for her age, Sivaji, 54, is being respected. Anasuya also expressed her determination to stand tall and unbothered, unaffected by the trolls' comments. She emphasized that her message is about representing a section of society that has long been unheard and overlooked. Sivaji later issued an apology for his comments, stating that he didn't intend to demean women. He claimed that his intention was to suggest that actresses dress carefully to avoid being mobbed. However, he acknowledged that his words were unparliamentary and apologized for any offense caused.
