Things are so bad in Tamil film industry, I didn't let my daughters come near it: 'Kutty' Padmini

CHENNAI: Actor ‘Kutty’ Padmini and one of the members of the internal complaints committee set up by the South Indian Artistes’ Association (SIAA) in 2019, during #metoomovement, on Friday said nothing will come out of all the actions being promised against sexual abuse in the film industry, unless it is backed by proper laws.

"In fact, the situation is so bad that I have not let my three daughters come anywhere near the Tamil film industry," the actor told PTI.

Padmini, who had started her acting career as a three-month-old baby and went on to win the National Award for Child Artiste for her performance in ‘Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum (1965)’, alleged that when she was only 10 years old, she faced sexual abuse.
