Trolls target Rahul Ravindran over Ketan Agarwal case
Amid the Ketan Agarwal and Siya Goyal case, Rahul Ravindran and Chinmayi Sripaada faced fresh flak for their statements. Here’s what happened.
After news broke of Ketan Agarwal’s alleged murder by his fiancée, Siya Goyal, filmmaker-actor Rahul Ravindran refused to categorise it as a systemic issue men face. That’s all it took for trolls to unleash their wrath on him and his wife, singer Chinmayi Sripaada , with some even wishing death on their 3-year-old children. While the filmmaker-actor quit X (formerly Twitter) over it, Chinmayi has been slamming the trolls.

The singer also spoke about rape culture, misogyny, sexual harassment and the growing amount of hate on social media. She said that abusive behaviour has become normal in online spaces, but to drag children is crossing limits. Ending the video, she addressed those who targeted her twins , Shravas and Driptah and said, “If you ever abuse my children, I’m going to wish nothing but horror, a very long life and a horrific life at that.”
She added, “We have twins – 3 years old. A boy and a girl. Because I keep calling this out and they get support from MRAs and incels, propaganda continues for hate on my children for which I WILL Respond in the same tone. People like this, people who support people like this need to be deleted here. Someone who harbors this amount of violence against children is no less than a sociopath and I dont wish them healing. I wish they delete.”
Rahul Ravindran quits X after hate on his children
Last month, Rahul also spoke out against the targeted hate on their children. “Maybe I am overreacting. Maybe it’s somehow my fault.. maybe my kids and I deserve this hate. But I am done with this app. I’ve been wanting out for a while,” he wrote. “I didn’t like the guy I was for half hour after I read that tweet. I didn’t like my thoughts. And I am too fiercely self respecting to let something have power over me,” he wrote, stating that he’s deleting X from his phone.
Chinmayi’s fierce response highlights the toxicity online, especially when children are targeted. Her stand against misogyny and abuse underscores the need for accountability in social media spaces.
