Sivaji’s recent remark on how women should dress has received heavy backlash on social media. Here is what he said during the recent visit.
Telugu actor Sivaji made a controversial remark about actresses’ dressing sense at the press release event of his upcoming movie, Dhandoraa. His recent remarks have sparked widespread criticism from women and other social media users and have been called his statement as regressive. Interestingly, all the actresses, who were present on the stage, were seen in traditional attire. Sivaji began his speech by complimenting the anchor for her presentation. But soon his views shifted on how actresses should dress. Without taking anybody’s name, he used gestures to describe what he considered as decent clothing.
What did Sivaji say about actresses’ clothing?
Sivaji said, “I request all heroines not to wear revealing outfits. Please wear sarees or dresses that cover the body fully. Beauty lies in complete attire or a saree, not in displaying physical asset.” He also used offensive language to describe what people would think if they were seen in such clothes. While Sivaji was making misogynistic remarks, the audience was seen cheering.
It has been said that from his gestures, it appeared he was indirectly referring to Nidhhi Agerwal’s mob incident.
How did netizens react to Sivaji’s comment on women’s clothing?
A user said, “I completely condemn how Sivaji spoke in the movie release function. I really wish all these celebrities would learn how to talk, what to talk or what not to talk.” Another wrote, “This is not the first time Shivaji has used loose and inappropriate words against women. Earlier it happened on Bigg Boss, and today again on a public stage. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable. Why is there complete silence from Mahila Mandals on this?” Another wrote, “One actor taking his previously played role in movie too seriously and living it in real life!! Unwarranted statements. Regressive thoughts. – Actor Sivaji.” Another user said, “That Sivaji video is absolutely disgusting and vile.”

This is not the first time Shivaji has used loose and inappropriate words against women.
Earlier it happened on Bigg Boss, and today again on a public stage. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable.

What happened to Nidhhi Agerwal recently?
The actress was present at the song release of her upcoming movie, The Raja Saab at Lulu Mall in Hyderabad. While leaving the venue, a mob attacked her and held on to her clothes and she was pushed. The management was highly criticised on social media, attracting severe backlash.
Instead of addressing the crowd management, Sivaji comments cite concern about clothes and suggested that women face issues if they wear revealing clothes. Shivaji’s words shifted responsibility away from those who harassed them and placed it on women’s clothing.
