In the interview, Sunitha’s statement linking ‘my body, my choice’ with a contrasting view of ‘his eyes, his choice’ received negative comments after netizens began accusing her of undermining feminist deals. Following the criticism, Sunitha addressed the issue through her Instagram Stories, clarifying that her words were spoken out of anger and disappointment. “A statement in my recent interview was made out of sheer anger and disappointment at the way some lecherous men perceive women, and was never intended to justify, encourage or normalize disrespect, judgement, exploitation, or any inappropriate behaviour towards women,” she wrote.
