Parvathy Thiruvothu Shares Reason Behind Supporting Nayanthara Amid Dhanush Controversy: 'I Have Gone...'
Parvathy Thiruvothu, Dhanush's former co-star, expressed her support for Nayanthara by sharing the letter on her Instagram Stories, amid the controversy.
Nayanthara recently penned an open letter addressing Dhanush, criticizing him for not allowing her to use footage from their film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' in her upcoming Netflix India documentary, 'Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale'. Parvathy Thiruvothu, Dhanush's former co-star, expressed her support for Nayanthara by sharing the letter on her Instagram Stories. In an interview with Manorama News, Parvathy elaborated on her reasons for standing by Nayanthara.
What Parvathy Said
During the interview, Parvathy stated, “This wasn't a long process. I didn't need extra time to take a stand and offer my support. When I saw the post, I immediately felt the urge to share it. Nayanthara, a self-made woman, a Lady Superstar, someone who built her career on her own, had to write such an open letter. She’s not someone who speaks without purpose; we all know her.”
‘I Have Gone Through It’
She further added, "She wrote about her experiences in three pages, and that’s why it’s called an open letter. That’s when I felt the need to support her. This is a real issue. All those supporting Nayanthara believe the truth in her letter. At some point, we will all see ourselves in others. This is the reason too… I know what it feels like to be unsupported. I have gone through it. I also know how much support can change a person. Thinking in that way, I will always stand for those people, especially if they are women."
Apart from Parvathy, several other actors who have worked with Dhanush also showed their support by liking Nayanthara's post. These included Nazriya Fahadh (Dhanush’s co-star in R Velraj’s 2013 romantic comedy Naiyaandi), Aishwarya Lekshmi (his co-star in Karthik Subbaraj’s 2021 action thriller Jagame Thandhiram), and Gouri G Kishan (Dhanush’s co-star in Mari Selvaraj’s 2021 action film Karnan).
In her open letter, Nayanthara accused Dhanush of holding a personal grudge against her and her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. She described his demand for ₹10 crore to use a three-second snippet of songs from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan as a "low" move.
