Lal Salaam: Heroine Clarifies On Controversial Post

Actress Dhanya Balakrishna has become a target of trolls and criticism from yesterday because of an old post allegedly made by her in the past.

Dhanya Balakrishna is all set to make her comeback in Tamil cinema with Superstar Rajinikanth’s movie Lal Salaam. The movie is to be released on February 9. A lot of Tamil audiences have started targeting her for an old social media post that has derogatory remarks about Tamilians.

The post claimed to be written by the actress, reads, ”Dear Chennai, you beg for water we give! You beg for electricity, we give! ur people come and occupy our beautiful city and kocha paduthify it, we allow and if you are at our mercy to go to playoffs, we let be!! Like this you begging we giving!”

Clarifying the same, Dhanya wrote, ‘I swear on my profession that puts food on my table that the statement that is circulating now was not made by me and it is not my opinion. I had clarified it 12 years ago when it happened, and I am saying it even today. It was a screenshot created by a troll. But I have nothing in my power to prove to you all that it was not me. The reason for my silence for 12 years was only because I was receiving a lot of threats and hate towards me & my family and protecting them was my priority. Now I want to take the opportunity to clarify that the alleged statement was not made by me, I also regret that this issue has caused hurt to Aishwarya Rajinikanth, Rajinikanth, and their fans. As I don’t have enough evidence to prove my innocence, I am apologizing to you by swearing my innocence on my work with the hope you all will accept it’.
