Renowned singer Chinmayi Sripaada slammed a section of netizens who attacked Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif, accusing her of being a biological man, after she defeated Italian boxer Angela Carini. Chinmayi took to X and penned a powerful message calling out the “global bullying”. She also shared Imane’s childhood pictures for reference asserting that she was born a woman.
Chinmayi wrote on X, “Imane Khelif is BORN WOMAN. She is NOT a man. *The right to change their gender is illegal and banned in Algeria, the country she represents.* Indians have harassed and harangued Shanthi Soundarrajan, a brilliant sportswoman, just because she didn’t look the way they expect a woman to look. I hope Imane is OK. She is going through global bullying and it looks horrific. This is Imane Khelif as a child.”
