Misogyny in India is disgusting, reveals Suchitra Krishnamoorthi!

Actress cum singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, who got abusive tweets for expressing irritation over the Muslim prayer call last month, feels disgusted over the misogyny and general disrespect towards women in India.

She also told no religion has the right to cause noise pollution or flout laws.

"The misogyny in our country and general disrespect towards women is disgusting and certainly cannot be ignored. It doesn't bother me at a personal level, but can you imagine what it does to younger and more vulnerable women? It's shameful," Suchitra said to a close source.

"No matter what a woman is trying to say or do in India, she is attacked sexually and that has to stop," added the mother of one daughter.

When she had tweeted about the "aggressive/ear shattering call of 'azaan'" and "imposed religiosity", she was slammed by some Twitter users. When it got too much, she lodged a police complaint.

"Yes, those accounts were suspended and I was put under police vigilance. Hats off to our Mumbai Police," told the artiste, 41.

Is she anxious about her safety?


"Not at all. I feel very safe and am hoping to take up the matter of the 'azaan' with authorities once again and have it resolved in an amicable way. 'Azaan' or 'bhajan'... No religion has the right to cause unnecessary noise pollution or flout laws," she told.
