“Actor Krishna Kumar and YouTuber Wife Face Backlash for Mocking Hema Committee Report in Viral Video”
Kerala actor-turned-politician Krishna Kumar and his YouTuber wife, Sindhu Krishna, are facing a storm of criticism after a recent video mocking the explosive Hema Committee report went viral. The report, which exposes shocking instances of harassment and abuse in the Malayalam film industry, has triggered a significant backlash against the couple’s seemingly lighthearted take on the matter.
The controversy began last week with a video on Sindhu Krishna’s popular YouTube channel, which documents everyday life in their household. In the clip, as Sindhu records a casual conversation between Krishna Kumar and their soon-to-be-married daughter, Diya Krishna, the topic turns to wedding preparations. Amidst the banter about wedding outfits, Krishna Kumar quips that, given his enthusiasm for the event, people might think he’s the one getting married.
The humor takes a sharp turn when Krishna Kumar, in a jesting tone, warns his wife not to bring up marriage in the midst of the “season of commissions,” a veiled reference to the Hema Committee report. The joke about “not knocking on my door” is a direct allusion to the report’s revelations of harassment, including incidents where women actors had their doors knocked on by intoxicated individuals in the industry. The couple’s laughter in response to the comment adds to the controversy.
The video also features Diya Krishna awkwardly smiling through her parents’ conversation, and Krishna Kumar and Sindhu Krishna downplay the significance of the report, suggesting their daughter needs to focus only on wedding preparations and her jewelry brand.
With over 5.15 lakh subscribers on YouTube and 3.18 lakh Instagram followers, Sindhu Krishna’s channel and the entire Krishna family, which includes successful YouTubers Ahaana Krishna, Ishaani Krishna, and Hansika Krishna, have garnered significant online attention. However, this latest video has drawn sharp criticism.
The internet’s response has been swift and unforgiving, with comments calling the family “pathetic” and accusing them of exploiting their private lives for internet fame. Critics argue that the family’s attempt to dismiss serious allegations as a joke reveals their lack of sensitivity and respect.
The Hema Committee report, commissioned by the Kerala government following the 2017 actor assault case, has unveiled disturbing instances of exploitation and harassment in the Malayalam film industry, leading to resignations of key figures like Director Ranjith and actor Siddique from prominent positions. The report’s revelations have intensified calls for accountability and reform within the industry.
In light of the backlash, Krishna Kumar and Sindhu Krishna’s attempt at humor has sparked a broader discussion about the boundaries of satire and the responsibility of public figures in addressing serious issues with the respect they deserve.
