Verify Information Before Spoiling Reputation: Nivetha Pethuraj Slams Claims Of TN Minister Buying Dubai House

After a YouTuber made malicious comments against her, Tamil actress Nivetha Pethuraj has responded to the allegations mounted on her.

Linking a minister from the ruling DMK, a popular Tamil YouTuber had made allegations of getting a Rs 50-crore lavish house from a Tamil Nadu minister.

In a statement shared on X, Nivetha wrote, "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.

She said that she and her family have been under extreme stress for few days and requested people to "think before spreading such false news."

She added, "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."

The actress has claimed that she leads a simple life and has faced a lot of struggles in life.

She continued, "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."

The actress said that she is not going to sue the person.

She concluded, "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."

Meanwhile, singer Chinmayi has extended her support to the Tamil actress.

She said, "History has called women capricious but in all honesty it is the men that are. People with influence like @SavukkuOfficial can condemn a political leader that they liked yesterday, oppose today and will like again tomorrow if situations and politics so dictate, without needlessly dragging women who have nothing to do with the political drama.

The men they name lose nothing. Please leave the women alone."

She has worked in notable movies such as: Udhayanidhi Stalin's 'Podhuvaga Emmanasu Thangam', Vijay Antony's 'Thimiru Pudichavan' among others.
