While many followers of the show and of Saravanan were dead against the decision to oust the actor from the show, there were others who asked the actor to look up consent.

One Twitter user wrote, "To all those brainless f'''''''s sympathizing with #Saravanan saying Kavin/Arav/Dharshan should be chucked out of the show, look up CONSENT", while another said, "The punishment for #Saravanan is not for groping in bus 20 years before. It is for declaring proudly in front of the world about the same in National TV..."

The incident occurred last week during a special episode when Saravanan spoke about travelling by bus with the sole purpose of groping women. Saravanan was called out for his controversial comments on social media, and singer Chinmayi Sripaada took to Twitter to express her disgust. Here's what she tweeted: 

A few days after boasting about molesting women on national television, Saravanan tried to bring the situation under control by calling his acts a mistake, and that nobody should make the same mistakes that he made. Seems like his apology came a little too late as a majority of the audience and the makers of the show didn't appreciate his remarks.
