Pushpavalli and Comicstaan fame comedienne Sumukhi Suresh strongly condemned online abuse against female comics. Taking it to social media, Sumukhi, known for breaking stereotypes with her acting and stand-up comedy gigs, added that the trend is disturbing that all the hate ends with rape threats.

Sumukhi's reaction comes a few days after comedian Agrima Joshua received rape threats when an old video of her comedy set with a joke about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj surfaced. Since then, a video with a person abusing Agrima and her family, and giving her rape threats has gone viral.
