In the purported interview, Sathyabhama had said, “The person who performs Mohiniyattam should be ‘mohini’ (enchanting). He has the colour of a crow. This is an art form that requires a stance that keeps the legs wide apart.There is nothing more repulsive than a man who performs with his legs wide apart in this manner.””In my opinion, men should perform Mohiniyattam only if they are that good looking. But his looks are unbearable,” she added.Satyabhama, however, had not specified whom she was referring to.Kerala Ministers Saji Cheriyan, R Bindu and Veena George, Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly V D Satheesan, BJP state chief K Surendran, among others, had condemned her remarks.The Kerala Kalamandalam, a premier public institution that preserves the state’s artistic heritage, had also condemned Satyabhama’s remarks.
