Singer Karthik opens up on sexual allegations on him

The #MeToo movement has shaken up the whole Hindi film industry at once. The movement also gave courage to South Indian artistes to come forward and share their experiences with the media. Singer Chinmayee is one of the first ones to open up on the issue.

She alleged that legendary lyricist of Tamil Cinema, Vairamuthu has tried to sexually harass her. She also claimed that singer Karthik misbehaved with one of her friends, who also happens to be a singer. Karthik didn't respond on the allegations and was in exile for three months.

After a long time, he came up to the media and opened up on the issue. Karthik released a press statement on his Twitter profile and stated that as per his conscience, he has never tried to misbehave with anyone in his career. He also said that he was away from social media these days due to the illness of his father.
