The actor admitted that what he did during his college days wrong and he regrets it. He also requested people to not indulge in any kind of harassment against women. Here's what her said: "To everyone who is watching the show, I have to clarify something. When Kamal Sir asked the question, I hastily agreed to doing it several times. During my college days, I have made certain mistakes, tiny ones. The intention was to ask viewers to not do these things but it got cut and I couldn't say it. I am repeating it once again. I did whatever I did when I was young and I want all youngsters to know that it's wrong. Which is one of the reasons why I am talking about it.. Be it before Bigg Boss or after the show, I will still keep telling people not to make the same mistakes I made. There are punishments for these kinds of behaviour. I am sorry if I have hurt anyone's sentiments." Earlier singer Chinmayi Sripaada took to social media and expressed her disappointment towards the same. She also took a dig at the channel for airing it. Her tweet reads, "A Tamil channel aired a man proudly proclaiming he used the Public Bus Transport system to molest/grope women - to cheers from the audience. And this is a joke. To the audience. To the women clapping. To the molester. Damn."

On a related note, Saravanan made the shocking remark when show's host, Kamal Haasan, was talking about travelling in buses when he said, "To travel on a busy bus is a big hassle. While there are people who are rushing to reach office on time, there are those who get in just to touch women inappropriately." To which, Saravanan said, "I have done it. It was long back when I was in college."
