"Lately there has been false news circulating about money being lavishly spent on me. I kept quiet because I thought people who are speaking about this will have some humanity to verify the information they receive before mindlessly spoiling a girl’s life. My family and I have been under extreme stress since few days. Please think before spreading such false news," wrote Nivetha Pethuraj, reacting strongly to the canard that DMK heavyweight and Tamil Nadu CM's son Udayanidhi Stalin recently gifted her a house worth Rs 50 Cr in London. The allegation was made by a politician in a recent interview.
The 'Paagal' and 'RED' actress is miffed. "I come from a very dignified family. I have been financially independent and stable since the age of 16. My family still resides in Dubai. We’ve been in Dubai for over 20 years. Even in the movie industry, I have never ever asked any producer or director or hero to cast me or give me movie opportunities. I have done over 20 films and it was all that found me. I was and never will be greedy for work or money. I can confirm that none of the information spoken about me so far is true. We live in a rented house in Dubai since 2002. Also, racing has been my passion since 2013. In fact I had no idea about the races being conducted in Chennai," she wrote.
It is instructive that Nivetha might be mooting legal action against the offender.
