It seems that troubles for Thalapathy Vijay are not going to end so easily. The actor-turned-politician has been the talk of the town ever since his movie Jana Nayagan was banned from being released. Following the hit to his film, it now seems that the actor has hit another roadblock in his personal life. Recently, the news of Vijay’s wife Sangeetha divorcing the actor made headlines, and what followed next was a storm of public scrutiny. Amid the chaos, actress and talk show host Lakshmy Ramakrishna came under public glare when certain remarks she made at a recent political event were widely seen as a dig at actor Thalapathy Vijay. Now, the actress has clarified the matter and said her statement was ‘mistaken.’
Lakshmy Ramakrishnan clarifies remarks about Thalapathy Vijay and his divorce
Addressing the controversy, Lakshmy Ramakrishnan took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to clarify that her remarks were misunderstood.
She wrote, “I know Vijay only as a respectful, calm and quiet co-artist, and I have always had deep respect for his mother. That is the extent of my personal knowledge. A few lines from a recent stage speech of mine were misinterpreted and wrongly linked to his political entry and now to his personal matters.”
Lakshmy clarifies that she had no intention to take a dig at Vijay
Emphasising on the matter, the actress said that she had no intention or never made any dig at Vijay or his divorce matter.
She revealed that when she was approached by a publication, she had simply stated that two individuals are capable of separating personal matters from their political roles.
“Let me also add: if the concern being expressed is truly about women’s rights, there are countless women facing abuse and injustice with no access to legal support, financial security, or even a next meal. They deserve our attention and advocacy just as much,” she said.
