Kalamandalam Sathyabhama insults Kalabhavan Mani’s brother

He is the brother of late actor Kalabhavan Mani. Kalamandalam Satyabhama has made a derogatory remark against RLV Ramakrishnan. Satyabhama’s statement in an interview to a YouTube channel has created a huge controversy. Kalamandalam Satyabhama says that Ramakrishna is the colour of a crow and cannot play Mohiniyattam. Satyabhama says that those who play Mohiniyattam should be Mohini, that it is unpleasant for men to play Mohyattam in time, that Mohiniyattam has not been told to boys, and that if Mohiniyattam is to be played by boys, it should be as beautiful as that. There was a huge furore on social media on this issue. Many celebrities came out in support of Ramakrishnan on the issue. After this, RLV Ramakrishnan himself came up with a response to the issue. Kalamandalam Sathyabama made the caste statement in an interview given to a YouTube channel.

Later, RLV Ramakrishnan clarified that the allegations were against him. An artist with the unique name of Kalamandalam is making allegations again and again. She said that she is the color of a crow and if she sees her, she will not tolerate even a peta. This is not the first time that Kalamandalam Satyabhama has insulted Rmakrishnan. She was not interested in pursuing a PhD in Mohiniyattam. He said that due to such people, a scheduled caste artist is not able to sustain in the field of dance. RLV Ramakrishnan said he was ready to take legal action in the matter. Though he did not take any names, RLV Ramakrishnan confirmed that it was Satyabhama who raised the issue. When I was studying in Kalamandalam, I had to file a case due to problems with them. Now he was referring to him as chalakkudikkan without mentioning his name. It was presented with explicit references to the Sangeet Natak Akademy and the person who filed the case against him. Saying that a black man like a crow is not beautiful enough for Mohiniyattam gives a wrong message to today’s society. What a bad message to the art world.

This remark was made at a time when even housewifes are setting aside their inhibitions and coming to learn dance. Legal action will be taken against them. Their words are a curse to the art and culture sector, said RLV Ramakrishnan. Ramakrishnan said that if such high-minded people stay in the cultural field, there will be a terrible situation and people like Kalabhavan Mani had faced such abuse. Meanwhile, Kalamandalam Satyabhama, who was accused of making casteist remarks against Dr RLV Ramakrishnan, has also responded to the controversy. That’s what it said. He stands by what he said. He didn’t name anyone. He said he was not referring to anyone personally. He said it in general. Stick to it. Legal action will be taken against violators. There was no further response, he said. Naturally, it will come. Because it is the hobby of some people like Satyabhama to make fun of the combination of four things about color, hair and physical appearance. People like Satyabhama do not think about the pain they feel when they hear it. It is to be believed that such people who are self-satisfied by making fun of other people’s affairs will never be recognized again.
