The Ponniyin Selvan actor also urged people to respect their privacy. He appealed, “I kindly request all of you to respect our privacy, as well as that of our family members, during this difficult time. Please refrain from making assumptions, rumours, or allegations regarding this matter and allow us to handle it privately.”

I remain committed to my audience and will continue to showcase my best talent. Your constant support means the world to me, and I am grateful for the love you have shown me over the years,” he added.
