Last year, 8 women named Mr Vairamuthu. 3 weeks ago, I got one more from an upcoming singer which I didn’t share. So far I know more than 12 girls who have had similar issues with him.

If anything I hope the #MeToo movement told girls here that men demanding sex in return for work is not OK.
Understand consent. And understand harassment.
