Days after a bandwagon of actors supported Nayanthara’s post hitting out against Dhanush for his alleged ‘egotistic’ attitude, actor Parvathy Thiruvothu broke silence on why she chose to pull for Nayanthara on this issue.
In her interview with Manorama News, Parvathy said that a self-made woman like Nayanthara had to write such an open letter. She added that Nayan is not someone who speaks without purpose. Parvathy further said that Nayanthara has written all her experiences in the three-page open letter, and it is a real issue; hence, she felt the need to support her.
Parvathy added, “I understand what it is like to be unsupported. I’ve gone through it. I also understand how much help can influence a person.” She remarked she would always support those individuals.
Notably, along with Parvathy, other actors like Shruti Haasan, Nazriya Fahadh, Aishwarya Rajesh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Anupama Parameswaran showed support to Nayanthara by liking her post.
Kollywood turned into a battlefield over a week ago, with Nayanthara openly challenging her Yaaradi Nee Mohini co-star Saturday. Some actors, notably Dhanush’s previous collaborators, sided with Nayanthara, while others dismissed the controversy as a “marketing strategy” for her documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale. Meanwhile, writer-director SS Kumaran accused Vignesh Shivan of using the title LIC without his approval, further intensifying the situation.
Nayanthara expressed her frustration over an open letter over the legal notice sent by Dhanush, which demanded ₹10 crore in compensation for three seconds of behind-the-scenes footage. She stated that the clips in question were from personal devices and had been publicly shared on social media in the past. “Cinema is a fight for survival for people like me, who are self-made,” she wrote, highlighting her journey in the industry without influential connections. She accused Dhanush of harbouring “vengeance” against the documentary and her personal life, emphasising that his actions affected not just her and Vignesh Shivan but also the numerous people who worked on the project.
The actor also revealed that her team had spent two years persistently trying to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Dhanush, who refused to approve the use of even photographs or lyrics from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. “Your refusal… broke my heart,” she wrote, suggesting that his decision stemmed from personal grievances rather than business or legal compulsions. “If it were about business or monetary issues, I might understand. But this feels like a deliberate attempt to vent a personal grudge,” she wrote, referencing harsh words Dhanush allegedly said before the release of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.
