A personal video of a woman going about her daily life suddenly landed at the centre of a political and social media storm.
Vinosha Ravi, the woman in the viral video, said her life was turned upside down after social media users wrongly identified her as Tamil Nadu minister S Keerthana.
“I have approached the Malaysian police over threats and abuse online.
I am working with the police, who have taken it very seriously,” she said.
We know what and how to dress,” she signed off. It began with several social media users, allegedly DMK supporters, sharing a video of a woman in a short dress and questioning if it was Industries Minister Keerthana. “Don’t think people think before posting. They just want views. Another worrying aspect is that Ravi did not post the video in question on any of her social media accounts. “No one has the right to lecture women.
Speaking to NDTV, Ravi, who lives in Malaysia, said that at first when a colleague shared the video with her, she “took it as a joke”. “But then it got serious and I got very worried,” she said. They just don’t think about the impact on the other person,” she said. She said she was recorded by someone who then posted it online, claiming that it was the Tamil Nadu minister in the short black dress. Slamming the critics and trolls, she said no one has the right to judge a woman’s clothing.
