She was removed from the South Indian Cine, Television Artistes and Dubbing Artistes Union (SICTADAU) after she came out in support of the women who had named Radha Ravi, president of the dubbing union.When she was recently asked how she worked in 96 and Leo despite the ban, she explained on X, “96 was before the Metoo broke out. Leo - I was hired despite the ban and Radha Ravi’s Union tried to find out who recorded me so that they can ban the Recording Engineer as well. Nobody has the bandwidth to fight these battles when a film is about to release. Radha Ravi sends a diktat to all the Unions to say a person is banned so other Unions should NOT hire them as well. Many have gone through the same. Incidentally AnbAriv were also banned by their Union. But they were given relief by the Court. I have been fighting my case for 6+ years. That’s how it works.”In 2025, Chinmayi sang at the audio launch of Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, a Tamil film. The song as well as her performance received widespread love from fans on social media.
