Actress Nivetha Pethuraj Gets Emotional Over False Rumors

A viral video has been circulating through social media on Twitter. In this video, famous YouTuber Savukku Shankar says that “Udhainidhi Stalin has bought a small house for Nivetha Pethuraj in Dubai for 50 crores,” and it has been going viral since he revealed these facts in an interview. Now actress Nivetha Pethuraj reacted to these rumors that had been spreading through social media and got emotional through her Twitter post. Take a look here.

“Lately, there has been false news circulating about money being lavishly spent on me. I kept quiet because I thought people who were speaking about this would have some humanity to verify the information they received before mindlessly spoiling a girl’s life. 

My family and I have been under extreme stress for a 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 of 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 a producer, director, or hero to cast me or give me movie opportunities. I have done over 20 films, and that 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 have lived 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 and 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 putting our family through any more trauma. 

I’m very grateful to everyone who spoke out for me. May truth behold.”
