The controversy began when Pravasthi claimed that Sunitha had celebrated with other participants after her elimination and that she had experienced body shaming. Sunitha expressed her disappointment and disbelief at these accusations, as she had never intended to hurt Pravasthi in any way. She also reminded Pravasthi of the importance of emotional strength when dealing with disappointment in the competitive world of music.
Pravasthi had also mentioned that she overheard comments from Sunitha, who reportedly downgraded her singing skills to that of another artist, Keeravaani, and appeared uncomfortable when she performed on stage. This, Pravasthi said, negatively impacted her mental health. In addition, she pointed out that lyricist Chandrabose and composer MM Keeravaani also seemed to behave differently towards her.
