Actress Lekshmi Menon, who has starred opposite Dileep in a film, has criticised Women in Cinema Collective, women’s collective in AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Actors). She has said WCC is a movement which has no sense.

Lekshmi is familiar to Malayli movie goers after she appeared in Dileep’s film Avatharam. The actress made this controversial remark in an interview given to a prominent magazine.

Lekshmi Menon’s statement:
‘I’m not much interested in WCC. Many are talking about women’s freedom, gender equality etc…but I don’t think so. It seems to me like a movement without sense.
If anyone asks me what the reason for my opinion is, I would say I just feel like that. This is my personal opinion.

If I want, I can duck the question or beat about the bush but that will be kind of cheating myself…that is why I openly state my opinion. I won’t care if anyone opposes me or comment against me for this opinion. To make my opinion public is my freedom. I will speak out my opinion without fear for anyone, let it be on any issue,” she said.
