Nivetha Pethuraj is a popular actress in Tamil and Telugu cinema. A political analyst made slanderous allegations about her a few days ago. He said that Nivetha is in a relationship with a Minister who bought her a house worth Rs 50 crore in Dubai. She has responded on social media today. Her statement says:
“Lately there has been false news circulating about money being lavishly spent on me. I kept quiet because I thought people who are speaking about this will have some humanity to verify the information they receive before mindlessly spoiling a girl’s life.
My family and I have been under extreme stress since few days. Please think before spreading such false news.
I come from a very dignified family. I have been financially independent and stable since the age 16. My family still resides in Dubai. We’ve been in Dubai for over 20 years.
Even in the movie industry, I have never ever asked any producer or director or hero to cast me or give me movie opportunities. I have done over 20 films and it was all that found me. I was and never will be greedy for work or money.
I can confirm that none of the information spoken about me so far is true. We live in a rented house in Dubai since 2002. Also, racing has been my passion since 2013. In fact I had no idea about the races being conducted in chennai.
I’m not as important as you are making it look. I lead a very simple life. After facing a lot of struggles in life I’m finally in a good place mentally and emotionally. I want to continue leading a dignified and peaceful life. Just like any other woman in your family would want.
I am not taking this up legally because I still believe there’s some humanity left in journalism, that they won’t continue to defame me like this.
I request journalists to verify the information you receive before spoiling a family’s reputation and not put our family through any more traumas.
Im very grateful to everyone who voiced out for me. May truth behold.” (sic)
