Actress Ramya Draws Flak for Comparing Men to Dogs
Ramya's controversial remarks comparing men to dogs in response to the Supreme Court's comments have led to a backlash on social media, with critics arguing that her analogy detracts from the real issues surrounding stray dog management.
Kannada and Tollywood actress Ramya has landed in controversy following a social media post in which she compared men to dogs, triggering sharp reactions online.
The Sandalwood star, who has also acted in Telugu films, was responding to recent Supreme Court observations that described stray dogs as unpredictable and capable of biting without warning. Referring to the Apex Court’s remarks, Ramya wrote that men too are unpredictable, adding that one never knows when incidents of rape or murder might occur. She went on to question whether men should also be jailed, drawing widespread criticism.
Her remarks sparked mixed responses on social media. Many users felt that Ramya trivialised deaths caused by stray dog attacks, an issue that has become increasingly sensitive amid rising incidents in residential areas across India. Critics accused her of making a provocative comparison that shifted focus away from the real problem.
Several netizens argued that the actress could have raised concerns about stray dog management without comparing men to animals. Others labelled the post unnecessary and avoidable, while some went as far as calling it a publicity stunt aimed at drawing attention.
As fatalities linked to stray dog attacks continue to rise, the issue remains emotionally charged and sharply divisive, with Ramya’s comments adding fuel to an already intense public debate.
