The Hindu Makkal Katchi, a local Hindu militant organization under the Hindu sangh parivar family has lodged a compliant against the actress, objecting to the outfit she wore during the 175th day celebration of the box-office hit ‘Sivaji-The Boss’. The group claims that her attire was skimpy and was ‘offensive to Hindu culture’.
What apparently added to their ire is, the actress who had starred opposite Rajnikanth in Sivaji, was dressed in such a way, at a function also attended by DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. Police say the complaint is being investigated.
Shreya is the second actress in ‘Kollywood’ after Kushboo to face anger from political parties and organisations recently. Khushboo had encountered protests for her reported comments on sex and virginity. The Hindu Munnani filed a case recently against her for causing disrespect to Hindu Goddesses at a function in Chennai where she was photographed seated with her footwear on near some idols of the Goddesses.
The function was held to honour the actors and technicians of the film Sivaji. Apart from her role opposite Rajnikanth, Shreya had also played the female lead in ‘Awaarapan,’ along with Emraan Hashmi.

I have always been appalled by the safron brigades philistines like VHP, Bajrang Dal, Hindu Munnai and the RSS who seem to have nothing better to do than whip up the Hindutva bogey. What do they get by opposing some beautiful film stars of India?
