He said, "To travel on a busy bus is a big hassle. While there are people who are rushing to reach office on time, there are those who get in just to touch women inappropriately," Interrupting Haasan, Saravanan said, "I have done it," and further justified it with, "It was long back, when I was in college."

The video clip was shared by an Indian playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada, who wrote, "A Tamil channel aired a man proudly proclaiming he used the Public Bus Transport system to molest/grope women - to cheers from the audience. And this is a joke. To the audience. To the women clapping. To the molester. Damn." Soon after she posted this video, Twitterati vented out their anger against this.

Here'e how netizens reacted to it:

To see a filmmaker taking pride in what he had done back in the days when he was young, netizens are shocked, which some are disgusted with the kind of mindset Sarvanan has.

Netizens are irked with the fact that Saravanan did not even seem apologitic when he stated that he used to grope women.

Some also bashed Kamal Haasan to not have taken that subject much seriously but laughed over the matter.

Bigg Boss Tamil 3, that has become one of the most-watched reality TV shows among the Tamil-speaking population, is now in its fourth week. And today being the weekend, we will see an elimination. Yes, Abhirami Ramanathan, Kavin, Cheran, Saravanan, Meera Mitun and Sakshi Agarwal are facing eviction this week. While Kamal Haasan has already announced that Cheran is safe, the rest are still in the danger zone.

However, going by the latest reports, viewers want Meera to be sent home since the first week as she has been either picking fights with other inmates or making false accusations. So, it won't be wrong to say she may leave the house tonight but latest reports suggest that it could be Sakshi Agarwal. Well, who do you think will bid adieu to Kamal Haasan's show.
