Sobhita Dhulipala speaking to scribes shared why she is avoiding excessive publicity. She said, &ldquo;Over the past few years, in brief pockets here and there, I&rsquo;ve worked with a PR form, but I think for my personality or the kind of choices I&rsquo;m keen on making for the kind of life I want to lead, I&rsquo;ve decided that I&rsquo;m not going to require this sort of amplification. I don&rsquo;t want to be visible 24x7 or I don&rsquo;t want to be spoken about all the time. That&rsquo;s not my interest, I don&rsquo;t find it useful for me,&rdquo;\r\nShe shared &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t work with PR, but maybe it works for someone else. There&rsquo;s no fixed rule with this thing. You can only have your preferences and I think I have clarity about my own.&rdquo;\r\nShe added&nbsp; &ldquo;I wish I had the answers for everything because there are so many things we figure along the way. Most of my projects were already counter culture in their own way and I am someone who does not come from the film world or even Mumbai. I came from Vizag and everything I learned on the go. I have arrived at an understanding of what I would like and what I wouldn&rsquo;t like. What does work and doesn&rsquo;t work for people, I don&rsquo;t know. I only know for myself,&rdquo;\r\nShe continued &ldquo;When I signed the project, I didn&rsquo;t think so deeply. I am deeply connected to Telugu cinema as an audience and as a consumer. But when I started performing, the experience here is so effortless and it is so smooth that you enjoy it. Since I played a podcaster, there&rsquo;s a lot of crisp vocabulary used, so I felt very relieved that I&rsquo;m glad I speak this language. It&rsquo;s my mother tongue and delivering these kind of lines, it&rsquo;s not easy if you don&rsquo;t know the language, so I enjoyed it a lot.&rdquo;

The other day Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran came up with distasteful comments in his efforts to target TVK Chief Vijay.\r\nHe said&nbsp; suggesting Vijay should \"come out of actor Trisha&rsquo;s house\" to experience the ground reality in the state of Tamil Nadu. Trisha came up with a powerful point by point rebuttal.\r\nHere it is.\r\nThe statement from her lawyer read, \"Under the instructions from my client, Ms. Trisha Krishnan, a renowned Indian film actress, I am issuing this communique to place on record the following:\r\nThis is with reference to the distasteful comment about my client which is circulating in the media.\r\nMy client never expected such distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State\'s political space.\r\nMy client makes it very clear that she is not affiliated with any political party neither does she intend to be. Further, just as my client had continuosly maintained in the past, she has always taken a neutral stand when it comes to politics.\r\nMy client wishes to be defined only by her craft and not by any alleged political alignment. Further and most importantly, it is common saying that personal lives should never be made the subject of public commentary or discourse, and it is expected that persons holding high positions maintain responsibility and equanimity in public discourse.\r\nIt is requested that my client\'s name not be drawn into matters that do not concern her.\"\r\nIn the caption, Trisha added, &ldquo;Disrespect should and always will be called out.&rdquo;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;

Mamta Mohandas speaking to scribes exposed the actor whom she once dated. She said &ldquo;I did meet a couple of men a few years before my marriage. What was interesting was that even before I got into a relationship, my diagnosis happened. I got married after the first year of my cancer treatment. One of the reasons for the haste was to fulfil all the other expectations I had of myself as a woman. I did not have practice with relationships or dating.&rdquo;\r\nShe revealed&nbsp; &ldquo;I dated two guys before getting married. It was very silly how much trust we place in another person. I only dated one guy from cinema back then. He was just engaged when he asked me out on a date. And I only found out about this a month later from his brother. He said, I think he has been seeing someone, and I should tell you honestly that he&rsquo;s engaged. Obviously, I was heartbroken,&rdquo;\r\nShe made her entry to Tollywood with NTR\'s Yamadonga and later romanced top Tollywood stars. She later got engaged to Bahrain-based businessman Prajith in November 2011 and married him in December 2011 in Thalassery, Kerala. The couple split after 6 months and divorced in December 2012. Mamta was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2010, and her cancer relapsed in 2013. In 2023, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with vitiligo.
