Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli is a south Indian actor. Lakshmi became a topic of discussion in every office canteen and gossip circle after the release of her 18-minute short film titled Lakshmi.
She was the focus of memes and trolls with several hate comments pouring in, asking how an Indian woman could behave against the rules set by Indian culture.
Today, Lakshmi laughs at all those who believe a woman who doesn't conform to set notions is a 'buri ladki'.
