DD Becomes Butt Of Memes Over Her Cringe Antics At DMK Propaganda Event “Kalviyil Sirantha Tamil Nadu”

Kalviyil Sirantha Tamil Nadu

The tone-deaf extravagance peaked with television host Dhivyadharshini (DD), whose performance bordering on parody has become the butt of jokes on social media, with netizens trolling her for overacting and cringe-worthy antics at the DMK propaganda event “Kalviyil Sirantha Tamil Nadu” held in Chennai on 25 September 2025.

In a cringe-inducing segment, DD gushed over the quality of sambar served as part of the Chief Minister’s Morning Breakfast Scheme, like it was a food from Tamil Nadu’s popular restaurant chain. Her exaggerated delight complete with dramatic expressions and staged spoonfuls of sambar offered to ministers seemed especially hollow when contrasted with frequent reports of poor food quality in government schools.

One cook who spoke at the event claimed, “I’m the cook at the school. All three of my kids study there. For Pongal items, at home, we only use whatever vegetables we have. But at the school, it’s not like that. The government gives me all the supplies, so I can cook everything properly without any shortages. You’d like to taste it?”

Responding enthusiastically, Dhivyadharshini exclaimed, “Is there any? Please give me some, ma’am. Oh my! I never expected to get such a delicious sambar at this event. Come, ma’am. Let’s try it. Come here. Come to the center. So, is the sambar good? I hope I don’t faint. How is this morning breakfast sambar?”

Some of the students chimed in with excitement, saying, “It will be super.” To that, Dhivyadharshini reacted, “One is saying it will be like wedding sambar!” At this point, another woman interjected to add, “We serve sambar five days a week at the school.”

Dhivyadharshini appeared surprised and asked, “What? do you make sambar five days a week at the school?”

The woman replied, “We serve sambar five days a week at the school. We make it for every dish. We have to make sambar for the children. At home, we might only make it once, but at school, we make it every day.” Another woman joined in to say, “Even those who used to dislike sambar have started eating it with great fondness. We make sambar all five days, and they never get tired of it, ma’am.”

Overwhelmed with joy, Dhivyadharshini said, “Ma’am, you’ve said so much, I have to taste this sambar,” and then made an overly dramatic expression of delight while eating it, adding, “Oh my goodness! The sambar is genuinely amazing! Ma’am, keep this hand that you used to cook, ma’am. This is for you (kissed), and this is for our CM. Sir, if you make a sambar like this, I’ll go back to primary school and study again. It’s that good. Is there any guest who would like to taste it? The Minister is here. Sir, would you like to taste it? We’re down here, would you like to come up? Please come up, sir. Mathiventhan is our honorable minister. Come, sir. Please try it. It would make you happy to try it. Yes, sir, for now, the sambar is all…”

It was an awkward spectacle sentimentality without substance. When the minister sampled the food, he simply said, “Super, oh super!” to which Dhivyadharshini playfully added, “We give him one spoon, but the minister is eating two spoons. Thank you sir.”

Despite the staged excitement, such moments only served to expose the theatrical nature of the event. With consistent reports of poor food quality including viral videos of students finding insects and lizards in their meals this media-driven PR spectacle felt disconnected from the actual conditions on the ground.

This did not sit well with netizens, who trolled her relentlessly. Some of the memes and trolls are shown below.
