Popular playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada has become the target of severe cyberbullying after her husband, actor-director Rahul Ravindran, made comments on the mangalsutra tradition while promoting his upcoming film, The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna, set to release tomorrow.
During the promotion, Rahul stated that wearing a mangalsutra should be a personal choice and that he had given Chinmayi the freedom to decide whether or not to wear one. However, his remarks triggered a massive online backlash, with trolls attacking Chinmayi and flooding her social media with abusive messages.
In response, Chinmayi tagged Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar and the Cybercrime Division, urging swift action against the individuals spreading hate and harassment. The Hyderabad Police confirmed receipt of her complaint and stated that an investigation is underway.
This incident has reignited concerns about the toxic culture on Twitter Spaces (X) — live audio sessions where users often resort to vulgar and abusive language, particularly targeting women. While X claims that Spaces are user-generated and not directly moderated, critics argue that this lack of oversight allows hate speech to flourish unchecked.
Chinmayi highlighted that several abusive participants were reportedly based in Telangana, and the Space itself was operated from the state. By directly involving law enforcement, she has sparked a broader debate on online accountability: can Indian authorities regulate global platforms like X that permit harassment within their digital space?
This case may set a critical precedent for how India addresses cyber harassment and enforces accountability on international social media platforms operating in the country.
