What Nithya said
In an interview with News18 Showsha, Nithya slammed the reports and said, "How can one say that somebody harassed me? I thought it needed to be called out. I really believe in accountability. When people behave badly, you have to point your finger at them. I want them to face the impact and consequences."
The Thiruchitrambalam actor also added how she deals with these false reports and said, "The idea is to not let anything affect you. You’ve to be very spiritual, otherwise you’ll get very upset. And you can’t get upset over these things. My health is important to me and so, I can’t get upset just because somebody is doing something senselessly... You have to really grow up and mature. People say that you need to develop a thick skin but it’s not like that. It’s about a deeper understanding of how you can detach yourself from such things. There have been so many rumours about me that people almost believe them. Things are written in a way as though they really happened. But this time, I felt the need to [talk about it].”
