Following which, she was reportedly bashed by the public and was out of work for months. On the other hand, Vairamuthu continued working in films like Kaappaan, among others. Now, a year later, the singer in a recent social media post shared the news that Vairamuthu has been removed from Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan. She said, "To all the girls who couldn’t step out in the open. And to those of us who did because we were insulated by our families who stood with us - Bhuvana Seshan, Sindhu."
