A Twitter user tagged the outspoken Chinmayi in a post about Y Gee Mahendra's comments and asked her opinion on it. In her inimitable way, Chinmayi mentioned that we should just ignore such comments from these people as they can't be changed and that it is just a waste of time. She followed it up with another post on how in a recent media interaction, Y Gee Mahendra and Sowcar Janaki had degraded the participants in the #MeToo Movement and also stated that it pained her to see such veterans talking lowly about women and the #MeToo Movement. On a happier front, Chinmayi won her third Filmfare Award and her husband Rahul Ravindran collected his National Award for the Best Original Screenplay for his debut directorial Chi La Sow.
