Actor Nivetha Pethuraj has expressed her deep anguish over the rumours being circulated against her by journalists in the media.
Her reaction came in the wake of an interview on a YouTube channel where it was alleged that Nivetha took favours from a renowned actor-producer for work.
Revealing that she has been under severe stress for the past few days, Nivetha Pethuraj appealed to the journalists to verify the information received before spoiling a family’s reputation.
“Lately there has been false news circulating about money being lavishly spent on me. I kept quiet because I thought people speaking about this will have some humanity to verify the information they receive before mindlessly spoiling a girl’s life,” the Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo actor wrote on her Twitter page.
Nivetha Pethuraj said her family has been under extreme stress for the past few days and urged journalists to 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,” her post read.
The Brochevarevarura actor added, “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,” Nivetha Pethuraj appealed to the journalists.
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…
