One of the users while taking Apte's side wrote, "This is verifiably right. Look at the pathetic state of women in Telugu movies. Barring 2-3 roles Sai Pallavi does, there's nothing for women in that industry."
Another even said, "Male dominated, patriarchal forget movies.. aravam politicians happily marry 3 women and molest one in assembly."
