Thanku cat-fame teacher files plaint against advocate

KOZHIKODE: Sai Swetha, the teacher whose online classes on Victers channel had gone viral, has approached the police against an advocate for ‘insulting her on social media after she refused an offer to act in a film’.
In a Facebook post, Sai Swetha said she was approached by an unknown person with an offer to act in a film. She asked him to contact her family friend as she couldn’t make a decision at that time.
“Later, I decided not to act in films and that was communicated to the person,” she said.
Later, the person insulted her on social media by writing baseless things and many shared the post without realizing the reality. “Initially I was shocked, but the support of family and friends and the public gave me courage to take on things legally,” she said.
Advocate Sreejith Perumana, the person who contacted Sai Swetha, said there has not been a single word of abuse on his part. “I contacted her for a film project of my friend who suggested that the teacher would be an ideal person for the role. The story is based on campus life. So, I contacted her husband and her,” he said. “She asked me to contact a media agency which I did. Till now I have not received an answer,” said Sreejith.
“I am not bothered about her refusal. But the way she reacted was quite immature, which was different from other very senior artists whom I contacted. And I communicated it through a Facebook post in which I didn’t name anyone,” he said. “After the incident, certain vested interests started a campaign against me insinuating many things. I stand by what I said and will confront them legally,” he added.
