KOCHI: Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) president Swetha Menon has demanded a proper apology from the YouTuber involved in the body shaming of actor Gouri G Kishan. “I don’t think what he offered was an apology. We are all with Gouri — all women are with her. We want a better apology,” Swetha told reporters in Kochi on Sunday.
The row was sparked when the journalist asked actor Aditya about lifting Gouri in a scene, referring to her weight. Gouri, who chose not to react immediately, later spoke about her discomfort in a separate interview. The issue escalated on Thursday after the film’s press screening, when the same journalist defended his earlier question, prompting Gouri to confront him directly.
