Sunny Leone wore saree and Darsha Gupta wore a crop top with lehenga for the event. Satish's comment about Darsha Gupta's dress while speaking on the stage has stirred controversy. Satish’s comment originally in tamil translates to Sunny Leone has come all the way from Bombay to Tamil Nadu, and look at how beautifully she has dressed for the event. On the other hand, we have a girl from Coimbatore, Dharsha Gupta. I am just pointing out how superbly she (Sunny) is dressed according to our culture’.

Soon after the video of the incident went viral, there was severe criticism against this. Singer Chinmayi, director Naveen and others are among the celebrities who have come forward against Satish. Chinmayi tweeted a video clip of Satish's statementand wrote I mean - To actually point at a woman and ask for mass heckling of a crowd by a man on a woman who doesn’t dress according to culture. When will this behaviour from men stop? It’s not funny.
