The director also ruined the life of his stepdaughter by seperating from his mother. Actress Aishwarya was complaining about this man in late 90s and all blamed Aishwarya for eloping with a boy and stamped her as alcoholic and drug addict. So this director would have ruined many actresses and should be inquired and prisoned whatever his age may be now.

Sivachandran abused Aishwarya too, she tried telling her mother but mom(actress Lakshmi) did not listen. So Aishwarya and her maternal grandmother moved out of the home. The only reason SIvachandran married Lakshmi was to abuse her daughter. Lakshmi is is several years older than Sivachandran.

As a malayalee....1992, i saw the Priyadarshan directed movie...Advaitham (Monotheism). Yet, this lady stood prominent than all other lady actors, and gave us one of the finest songs depicting baby krishna, composed by,M.G. Radhakrishnan. Surprisingly, for 3 decades, i always wondered, why did she leave, when the entire kerala sang to her song. Oh...my God....hearing this was indeed the most sad thing. Dr. Sujatha, I'm sorry for your experience, but I'm, rather, we in Kerala are grateful to that wonderful song that you millions of us nostalgia about our land. Ambalapuzhe unnikannonodu nee..... Still a masterpiece after 32 yeara.... Much prayers and wishes and strength to you Dr.Sujatha
Her story should be a lesson to young budding actresses, but the way she narrated the story, it was consensual at that point in time though the older man clearly brainwashed an innocent teenage girl. A legal case won't be easy now, but kudos to her for bringing this to light and ashaming actress Lakshmi's husband Sivachandran.
It was not consensual in any way. If you are just 18 years old and conditioned by society to not disobey your elders then you do not have the capacity to speak up - she was not even able to comprehend the situation and know what needs to be done. A person in that mental state is not in a position to give or refuse consent.
@@mahalakshmir2404 many people dont know that time, only now people are realizing what someone did to them is wrong. i know quite a few even men whose father abused them this way from small. they take it cos its trusted adults. cant do anything, no one will believe, people only question the victim. sad
Great interview, Full credit goes to this brave woman, Dr. Sujata., who had to go through such torturous moments that we men should hang our heads with shame.
Lakshmi knew what he was doing to Aishwarya, she wanted Aishwarya to "adjust"! Aishwarya refused to and walked out with her grandmother, lakshmi's mother.
@@someonenoisy5034i don’t agree with this. Slightest of doubt should have arised when both her daughter as well as this girl expressed their discomfort with man.

@@someonenoisy5034 Lakshmi knew what he was doing. Whenever a girl was around Lakshmi disappeared from the scene and gave him the chance to do whatever he liked. Lakshmi wanted to keep him for her .......
She lives in America and doesnt know police works differently in India especially in TN. First her complaint against Lakshmi and Sivachandran will not be taken by TN police. This happened like what so many years ago, is there any proof? So far nobody in TN film industry has said anything about this, except her aunt LR who is not all that in TN film industry. radhika, kusboo rogini, kutty padmini, shakeela where are they? Even Suchitra kinda brushed this news in an interview. Nobody will dare to say anything against actress Lakshmi. Only LR will be eliminated from TN films more. This Sowmya by saying all these things after so many years will not change anything in Sivachandran’s life. Hope LR the aunt and Sowmya understand that and soon these videos will removed from youtube, you all wait and see. 😮
@@KL2023-kl - I understand your concerns, especially regarding the differences in how the legal system operates in India compared to other countries. It's true that reporting incidents from years ago can be incredibly challenging, especially without physical evidence. However, that doesn't mean that Dr.Sujatha's story is invalid or unimportant. Many survivors take years, sometimes decades, to come forward because of the trauma, fear, and shame they experience. It’s not uncommon for those in positions of power to go unchallenged for a long time, just like Harvey Weinstein case in the US. As for the silence from other members of the film industry, it's unfortunate but not surprising. The entertainment industry often protects its own, and people may fear backlash or losing their careers if they speak out. It’s not just about one person; it’s about the power structures that keep abusers protected. Even if her testimony doesn’t lead to immediate legal consequences for Sivachandran, speaking out publicly can still make a difference and I believe it already has made a difference. It encourages other survivors to share their stories and adds to the growing awareness of these issues. Change often takes time, and while it may not happen overnight, every voice raised against injustice contributes to the larger movement. Rather than dismissing her experience because of the lack of immediate results, we should support her bravery in coming forward. Her story, like others, has the power to influence future conversations and hopefully lead to more accountability within the industry. Also, people talk and by now most people would have known already, so what difference does it make, if the videos are they or not ? It's important to educate the public the rest Karma will take care.
She has spoken her heart out. Totally overwhelming to see her being more powerful and resilient now 😊 But again she really deserves the justice despite the decades 🙏
I came across her bitter experience yesterday & Believe me, I am so traumatised till now 😱 For Malayalees, actress Saumya was kind epitome of beauty after she featured in superhit movie of the 90s "Adwitham" wherein she featured in "Ambalapuzhe unnillannanodu nee..." song & took a place in the hearts of Malayalam moviegoers in the 90s 🤔 It makes sense why she abruptly left the movies after 3 Malayalam movies & 1 Tamil movie (wherein the director assaulted her sexually & kept as a sex slave for an year) 😔 While #hemacommittee revealed "real face" of many "reel heroes/directors/producers in #Malayalam cinema, her story indicates much deeper rot in Tamil cinema & other neighbouring industries & why such committees are to be enforced 😬 Wish Ms Saumya a complete healing 🙏
Very much and they have "adopted" another girl- how did the agency allow them to adopt without background check is the question. Social services should intervene and take away that (prbly now teen) girl.
Oh my god... Disgust is the first feel... I feel sooo sorry for her...hugs Sujatha... Huge huge respect as you came out of it and gathered the courage to talk about it in Public... " grooming " is important...
What a great escaped by Gentlemen Sivakumar! Lakshmi tried so hard for him, but Sivakumar did not fell for her! never knew Laskhmi was such a monster. 3 marriages and the 3rd guy a devil !
Actress Lakshmi originally tried to lure actor Shivakumar, It was a great escape that he did not fall prey in the hands of the devilish woman - Lakshmi. She is alcoholic, sex minded and is child abuser. She threw her biological daughter out of her house to retain her third husband for her needs.
Completely in agreement with Sujata about being "groomed" for this kind of abuse. This is how people in power go about abusing the naive .... and children of innocence. Adults and everyone in positions of power should be held accountable for this kind of heinous abuse, gas- lighting , culture of silence around sexual predators and perverts. Women, speak UP!!! My prayers are with you Dr. Sujata, kudos to Barkha for giving us voices. Keep up the GOOD FIGHT! ,
I gather that actress Sowmiya acted in one Tamil and three Malayalam movies, all hits, and then left films to get her PhD in psychology in the US and settle there. 👏🙏 to Dr. Sujatha.
some used that as a stepping stone and are successful, some consensual. so if they had gone through that, then surely the lady or man abused wont tell out
@@UCX1cs5tmabsolutely right. Not everyone is a victim, not everyone is a willful perpetrator. When a man or a woman is hellbent to make money and get fame by hook or crook, they'll stoop to any extent, that's when it's brushed aside in silence, the others don't speak. Finally it becomes a norm with all, until someone protests against this.
Still there is a pain in her voice. So sad. Very hard to get over this horrible experience. I don’t know how these men get sleep in the night. Terrible experience.
Sadly people only believe her because she was a lead actor and has somehow been able to get out of that mess and find an alternative career. The junior/supporting actors that are speaking out today are being trashed as publicity-hunters. The fact that she has to try so hard to prove her point is so depressing, and still some people ask that lame question "why now? why couldn't you speak out then, OR what are you going to gain, couldn't you just have kept quiet" etc. If you don't agree with their choice to reveal what was done to them, just ignore it. There's no need to shame a survivor like this.
@@freebirdindia3911 it'd already rotten...not just film industry ...even their social fabric is very misogynistic and objectify women compared to south. I am sure many of them are even thinking why these women make noise...why can't they go quiet.

Why are u guys discussing with the same thieves. I just don’t get it. There is a procedure and find out from the lawyers. Please for heaven’s sake !!!!
@Dr sujatha..maam please dont leave that predator. You shouldn't leave him like that. He should be in jail for what he does. Set an example , these kind of predators should think twice before doing such kind of things to any poor girl..
Our system is so corrupt lawers are forced to be for living from criminals they say more the bribe closer to justice yet no guarantee that u will get justice what do you suggest to prevent crime rape addiction etc there are many cases which go unnoticed and a child or women or man or transgender is suffering in pain
Dr Sujata why are you afraid to say the name of such a notable psyco don't u understand that your fear is allowing this person who hurt u so deep that your scar is paining with guilt as without confession his name to the universe u r helping other kids to get victimized
Villain on screen and off screen. But what about the actress? After all this hypocrisy, she has the audacity to be a part of a talk show and acted as a judge for many familial issues. What a joke? But it is we who are to be blamed. Why do we put these Filmie people on a pedestal and treat them like demi gods.
I think the person you are accusing is not the actual person that abused this actress. Both has the same name and hence this confusion. The abuser couple is Lakshmi Sivachandran and you misunderstood Lakshmy Ramakrishnan.
Actress lakshmi was also host in family issues TV show but unlike lakshmi ramakrishnan she was a miserable failure and quit early@@Myhomegarden-unlimited
Balu Mahendra's protege in sex acts against children not talent 😂- that director! Balu also treated the the children(less than 18 even 13 years old) like this sicko director.
Yes he’s alive . Couple months ago his interview was on a RUclips channel. He portrayed himself as a big scholar and a gentleman. After watching this video, I feel like slapping the demon with chappal 😡😡 what a nasty man. Now he and his famous wife are living and taking like saints.. chee thoo
Whether he can be legally punished or not , you need to call out the name. Can’t believe the lady was unaware or was ignoring her husband behaviour and irony is she is projected as strong women
People have named the couple as actress Lakshmi (of “Julie” fame), and her third husband as Sivachandtan. Actress Soumiya/Dr. Sujatha earned her PhD in psychology in the US and lives on the US. She seems to be the niece of the famous celebrity (director, actress, producer, social activist, famous talk show host) Mrs. Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, who is from a decent South Indian Iyer Brahmin family.
Thank you so much Sujatha....you have helped us all get some healing....after being traumatised by abuse as a teenager....stay strong all women and men who have gone through such horror
Just pure love and admiration for this woman and her triumph over it all. You are a hero, Dr. Sujatha. Thanks for conducting the interview so sensitively, Barkha.
One of the lead actress of Kannada in 80’s and this is unbelievable and shocking.We grew up seeing her movies and her movies focused on good morals,middle class housewife rolls etc
Hearing Sowmya ‘s account has caused so much confusion and hurt that it makes me feel that all females are vulnerable to those so called ‘ men’ who they looked upto protect them .
U r a true winner Dr.sujatha Be proud with head held high With great guts and difficulty u have conquered life I can still see the innocent face Live life in a great way now on
It's traumatic to even hear what she has been through. More power to Dr. Sujatha / Sowmya. It takes immense courage to talk about it and go through it mentally. I am shocked guessing who that veteran actress and her husband could be as i adored watching her in movies, especially some of the feminist films she did... Not mentioning her husband's name as he is not named yet by his victim. Disgusted watching Mohanlal's gesture in an award show. After all this, How do i watch them in movies with the same awe!!!
Saw her interview with Lakshmi Ramakrishnan. I was deeply disturbed and 1st time I was able to understood fully how a victim is helpless to come out from the miserable relationship or situation
It takes a lot of courage and energy to talk about what happened to Dr Sujatha. This could help many survivors come to terms with their own trauma and help them heal. Grooming is part of the abuse... Hope all those questioning the survivors ,why now? why not then? etc will wake up and understand or shut up.

Imagine what happens after. They'll file for defamation and you're further throwing yourself into the mess of lawsuits, court visits, lawyer expenses, all with no evidence to show from so many years back. Victims have already suffered enough and most don't want to go through anymore stress. They just want to live their lives. Opening up and talking about their experiences can be healing. They should be able to do it without the pressure of having to be any more open than they are comfortable. Let's not judge them for that. We all know who she's talking about.
She is speaking avout the actress acted in hindi movie " Hulchul" who played grandmother of Kareena Kapoor...I think she played the character Lakshmi devi Anpara i guess...her third husband Siva chandran is the culprit.... Shameless people 😖😖
Completely believe this poor lady . Only one thing is puzzling how could he wake her up in the night when his wife was there and also how come she stayed at his place when lived with her parents in Chennai or did this happen during an out door shoot
Just coz someone us a great actor doesn't mean they are good person. Thanks for coming out and expressing ur grief and exposing these wretched people. More power to u Ma'm

@@Deepak-zn6tb 0:42 On the ticker where its mentioned Dr. Sujata and then Barkha proceeds to call her Dr. Sujata @ 0:53 ending at 1:00. Any more clarifications sir?
I have a question for Dr. Sowmya's aunt, the famous Lakshmi Ramakrishnan (not the criminal actress wife Lakshmi): Why did she not intervene on behalf of her niece then? Lakshmi ramakrishnan is very socially conscious on women's issues and her TV show portrayed hundreds of affected women! Was she she completely unaware of what transpired in the life of her young niece?
she said he separated her from her family by painting them as evil and twisting their intentions because she was just a teen when it happened. She probably had Stockholm syndrome so didn't tell anybody
Agreed the director and his wife are culprits , but here Soumya is also equally held responsible . Let’s get to facts she did all this consensually to get fame and she did get fame . You cannot tag her brave or courageous women now rather is she would have brought these those days Mee too would have ignited then than now . Here she is telling rape but even as per her even after getting raped she used to go his house every day and now coming and revealing things . This is incorrect u do for fame and name and now again u do for fame n name . When you get raped come out and talks to COPSSSS. Rather now . All are culprits here and none is brave . Barca is talking to her as if she won olympics medal , kind of irony people take advantage now
Yes, she did it for fame that she did not even act in movies any further They forced parents to let her act and hee initial reaction was no But some people are rape apologist and would find any reason to leave the culprit free All childhood abuse happens like this by winning the confidence and then abusing it She was not looking for anything, that man created situations to exploit her, she did not and his wife helped him But you will forever continue to blame the victim to minimize the abuse His step daughter also accused him and her mother also.did not support her, she must also be looking for favours, everyone is corrupt but this man is a saint
@@mansisingh1085 I do agree that director and his wife for sure should be held even now , but the ladies when they face it should react and revolt against n bring it cops right then rather being skeptical of losing fame or roles in movies . Culprits should be punished right then
His own step daughter went on to lead a very sad and messed up life due to all the abuse and trauma - ive known her and found her to be a very broken human. So to all the rape apologists who have zero idea about how it was for girls in the 80s or 90s and how scary it may have been to speak out due to shame , fear etc- I hope Karma finds you and believe me it will
@@Aspeckofdust04 I believe in punishing right then for all these rapist , in kerala film industry there have been so much of false allegation , just look at nivin Pauly case . Director should have been punished right then and what took this long for Soumya to come and reveal this . If Soumya would have done it director and wife would have been behind bars
Why did she not get away from this director after the first incident and put her life back on track.she is not innocent. She could have been like her college mates, focused on studies. She blames it on her nerves , fantasy , it's rubbish.She was not a baby, knew what was right and wrong. It was the choice that she made, so daring , disgusting at that age .this happened over a period of time as a willing partner, then invites the controversial couple for her wedding? This confession is completely onesided. Full of contradictions.
Yes, that's what I was wondering why this aunty never tell her parents about this?! 😅 It's funny right Hi Aunty that time you are 18,already major enough to fight and push that uncle This is not logic at all You are just making story aunty You know what aunty you are irritating Headache listening to your stupid, funny story 😅
This happened 32 years ago. Do you think ppl had that level of knowledge if the family is traditional and puts you off to discuss or teach on such topics? Whilst I'm not saying she is telling only the truth...this is very much possible as this is how ppl in power groom. Once they know the trick they will repeat again and again...go and check with ppl who are being fooled on mlm or money laundering....they will know ppl get fooled in news but still get fooled how? We cab complain when it happens to others from our point of view...but when it happens to us sometimes our minds will be blind focusing on something without even realising what is happening...let's not victim blame here
She was in love with Sivachandran. He must have promised this lady many things but he never intended to marry her. So she is hurt and now claims abuse. 18 years old is not that young. There was no reason for this lady to continue going to the guy’s house and keep having an affair with this man. After the first incident itself this lady should have told her parents but the fact that she continued seems like she was also infatuated with that guy.
Exactly. I would blame only this gal’s mother, which mother/parents would send their young 18 yr old daughter to somebody’s home and let them take control of her life.
Thank you, Sujata, for sharing this. I hope the girls start speaking up if they experience anything harmful, as it is only then that perpetrators will be deterred from repeating their actions. These offenders remain unchecked because of the girls' silence, but unfortunately, it is societal pressure that often compels them to remain silent. 😔
I was shocked to see many Tamil people (including an old sex doctor from MGR’s time) talking about adjustment and how such women are willing and compliant and now talking about sexual abuse for publicity. Tamil Dravidian mentality seems backward when it comes to understanding women’s problems. Much like Middle East countries. People do not seem to know about the Stockholm syndrome. they should read about the “Elizabeth Smart” case for one. Incredibly strong and intelligent woman now who gives lectures about sexual exploitation now. Very eloquent.
Actress Lakshmi hosted a show in 2000’s called kathayalla nijam which was quiet a trending show back then throwing light on the abuses or harassments faced by women.What a hypocrisy she hosted the show, she use to cry or get extremely emotional hearing the sad stories of the victims yet she couldn't correct the injustice that happened to her own daughter Aishwarya.Back then when Aishwarya was a famous actress in 90’s she eloped from her home and married someone from a different religion changed her name to Masha and got in to ill habits.Felt very bad for her traumatised childhood with no stable parents and mom hopping from one relationship to the other like a butterfly.Sivachandran should be handled legally.Have heard many rumours about him being a predator.
Strong woman!!! People(men n women)who have gone through such ordeal should come out and reveal the perpetrators names so that at least in the future such predators would think twice before doing such heinous crimes.
A serious suggestion please name the couple so they can not hurt other humans and end up in jail . Epstein got caught after 30 years so many young girls got abused
I wonder why no Tamil RUclips Channel or News channel discussed about this allegation! It is being covered up because of the wife's power and influence. If it was released to the Tamil people in Tamil language it would be one of the most talked about news right now! Everyone knows the perpatrators Sivachandran and Lakshmi who were very popular back then.
Terrifying 😮. I feel sad that she had to go through all those traumas without realizing wat was happening to her . But I feel proud of her that she fought hard and is revealing all this now . I can only admire her determination. ❤. I don’t think I can watch ambalapuzha song the same way I did .
I salute Dr. Sujatha. Brave and accomplished. Appreciate her coming out and talking for other women. If she can be taken advantage of as an innocent 18-year old, we all need to protect our children/women on our family. Because as the Ronald Regan era Surgeon General said, “Knowledge is Powerful Medicine”.
Why blame her parents? She herself admitted that they were not aware of it as she didn't disclose it to anyone. Her mother was adamant that she should not enter film world .
Remember she rebelled against her parents . Watch the interview again . She says that clearly and says my parents did not spoil me. Her dad finally allowed and not her mom. Stop blaming her parents. In the end he isolated her from her parents. She didn't say anything. Listen to the entire interview
This film actress wife was once arrested in call girl racket in Delhi, which was reported in "The Hindu" newspaper long back. Her name was very clearly mentioned, prominent actress Lakshmi, from South. But it got pushed under the carpet, never to be heard again anywhere. She isn't a saint in these terms. Multi talented actress, but a cunning and cheap rated woman personally.
The director also ruined the life of his stepdaughter by seperating from his mother. Actress Aishwarya was complaining about this man in late 90s and all blamed Aishwarya for eloping with a boy and stamped her as alcoholic and drug addict. So this director would have ruined many actresses and should be inquired and prisoned whatever his age may be now.
He is Sivachandran n wife Lakshmi

As a malayalee....1992, i saw the Priyadarshan directed movie...Advaitham (Monotheism). Yet, this lady stood prominent than all other lady actors, and gave us one of the finest songs depicting baby krishna, composed by,M.G. Radhakrishnan.
Surprisingly, for 3 decades, i always wondered, why did she leave, when the entire kerala sang to her song.
Oh...my God....hearing this was indeed the most sad thing. Dr. Sujatha, I'm sorry for your experience, but I'm, rather, we in Kerala are grateful to that wonderful song that you millions of us nostalgia about our land.
Ambalapuzhe unnikannonodu nee.....
Still a masterpiece after 32 yeara....
Much prayers and wishes and strength to you Dr.Sujatha
Stop being brainwashed by this satanic industry
Her story should be a lesson to young budding actresses, but the way she narrated the story, it was consensual at that point in time though the older man clearly brainwashed an innocent teenage girl. A legal case won't be easy now, but kudos to her for bringing this to light and ashaming actress Lakshmi's husband Sivachandran.
It was not consensual in any way. If you are just 18 years old and conditioned by society to not disobey your elders then you do not have the capacity to speak up - she was not even able to comprehend the situation and know what needs to be done. A person in that mental state is not in a position to give or refuse consent.
@@banksy2870 I'm surprised why Sujatha parents sent her to. Live with that couple
No, consent is when you verbally say 'yes' knowing what the other person wants. Consent is not standing frozen in fear and not fighting back.
@@mahalakshmir2404 She was groomed. Do you know how these predators can groom others? They win the trust of other people.

Great interview, Full credit goes to this brave woman, Dr. Sujata., who had to go through such torturous moments that we men should hang our heads with shame.
Lakshmi knew what he was doing to Aishwarya, she wanted Aishwarya to "adjust"! Aishwarya refused to and walked out with her grandmother, lakshmi's mother.
How disgusting

@@someonenoisy5034i don’t agree with this. Slightest of doubt should have arised when both her daughter as well as this girl expressed their discomfort with man.

@@someonenoisy5034 Lakshmi knew what he was doing. Whenever a girl was around Lakshmi disappeared from the scene and gave him the chance to do whatever he liked. Lakshmi wanted to keep him for her .......
I had a huge smile on my face when she said she is going to talk to the cops
She lives in America and doesnt know police works differently in India especially in TN. First her complaint against Lakshmi and Sivachandran will not be taken by TN police. This happened like what so many years ago, is there any proof? So far nobody in TN film industry has said anything about this, except her aunt LR who is not all that in TN film industry. radhika, kusboo rogini, kutty padmini, shakeela where are they? Even Suchitra kinda brushed this news in an interview. Nobody will dare to say anything against actress Lakshmi. Only LR will be eliminated from TN films more. This Sowmya by saying all these things after so many years will not change anything in Sivachandran’s life. Hope LR the aunt and Sowmya understand that and soon these videos will removed from youtube, you all wait and see. 😮
@@KL2023-kl - I understand your concerns, especially regarding the differences in how the legal system operates in India compared to other countries. It's true that reporting incidents from years ago can be incredibly challenging, especially without physical evidence. However, that doesn't mean that Dr.Sujatha's story is invalid or unimportant. Many survivors take years, sometimes decades, to come forward because of the trauma, fear, and shame they experience. It’s not uncommon for those in positions of power to go unchallenged for a long time, just like Harvey Weinstein case in the US.
As for the silence from other members of the film industry, it's unfortunate but not surprising. The entertainment industry often protects its own, and people may fear backlash or losing their careers if they speak out. It’s not just about one person; it’s about the power structures that keep abusers protected.
Even if her testimony doesn’t lead to immediate legal consequences for Sivachandran, speaking out publicly can still make a difference and I believe it already has made a difference. It encourages other survivors to share their stories and adds to the growing awareness of these issues. Change often takes time, and while it may not happen overnight, every voice raised against injustice contributes to the larger movement.
Rather than dismissing her experience because of the lack of immediate results, we should support her bravery in coming forward. Her story, like others, has the power to influence future conversations and hopefully lead to more accountability within the industry. Also, people talk and by now most people would have known already, so what difference does it make, if the videos are they or not ? It's important to educate the public the rest Karma will take care.
She has spoken her heart out. Totally overwhelming to see her being more powerful and resilient now 😊 But again she really deserves the justice despite the decades 🙏
This time, do NOT leave. Keep it going. It is there in Andhra Pradesh.
Main issue of course is
"We all know it."
Andra NTR son Bala Krishna will be in big soup.
I came across her bitter experience yesterday & Believe me, I am so traumatised till now 😱 For Malayalees, actress Saumya was kind epitome of beauty after she featured in superhit movie of the 90s "Adwitham" wherein she featured in "Ambalapuzhe unnillannanodu nee..." song & took a place in the hearts of Malayalam moviegoers in the 90s 🤔 It makes sense why she abruptly left the movies after 3 Malayalam movies & 1 Tamil movie (wherein the director assaulted her sexually & kept as a sex slave for an year) 😔 While #hemacommittee revealed "real face" of many "reel heroes/directors/producers in #Malayalam cinema, her story indicates much deeper rot in Tamil cinema & other neighbouring industries & why such committees are to be enforced 😬 Wish Ms Saumya a complete healing 🙏

They forced parents to let her act and hee initial reaction was no

She was in love with Sivachandran. He must have promised this lady many things but he never intended to marry her. So she is hurt and now claims abuse. 18 years old is not that young. There was no reason for this lady to continue going to the guy’s house and keep having an affair with this man. After the first incident itself this lady should have told her parents but the fact that she continued seems like she was also infatuated with that guy.

Thank you, Sujata, for sharing this. I hope the girls start speaking up if they experience anything harmful, as it is only then that perpetrators will be deterred from repeating their actions. These offenders remain unchecked because of the girls' silence, but unfortunately, it is societal pressure that often compels them to remain silent. 😔
I was shocked to see many Tamil people (including an old sex doctor from MGR’s time) talking about adjustment and how such women are willing and compliant and now talking about sexual abuse for publicity.
Tamil Dravidian mentality seems backward when it comes to understanding women’s problems. Much like Middle East countries.
People do not seem to know about the Stockholm syndrome. they should read about the “Elizabeth Smart” case for one. Incredibly strong and intelligent woman now who gives lectures about sexual exploitation now. Very eloquent.
Actress Lakshmi hosted a show in 2000’s called kathayalla nijam which was quiet a trending show back then throwing light on the abuses or harassments faced by women.What a hypocrisy she hosted the show, she use to cry or get extremely emotional hearing the sad stories of the victims yet she couldn't correct the injustice that happened to her own daughter Aishwarya.Back then when Aishwarya was a famous actress in 90’s she eloped from her home and married someone from a different religion changed her name to Masha and got in to ill habits.Felt very bad for her traumatised childhood with no stable parents and mom hopping from one relationship to the other like a butterfly.Sivachandran should be handled legally.Have heard many rumours about him being a predator.
God alone can take vengeance. I pray for protection for all the poor and afflicted. God heal and deliver.

Poor Aishwarya now i understand why she not talking to her mother
I wonder why no Tamil RUclips Channel or News channel discussed about this allegation! It is being covered up because of the wife's power and influence. If it was released to the Tamil people in Tamil language it would be one of the most talked about news right now! Everyone knows the perpatrators Sivachandran and Lakshmi who were very popular back then.
Thank you all for your kindness and support! My goal was to increase awareness and I am pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming response!
God bless you mam
Terrifying 😮. I feel sad that she had to go through all those traumas without realizing wat was happening to her . But I feel proud of her that she fought hard and is revealing all this now . I can only admire her determination. ❤. I don’t think I can watch ambalapuzha song the same way I did .
I salute Dr. Sujatha. Brave and accomplished.
Appreciate her coming out and talking for other women.
If she can be taken advantage of as an innocent 18-year old, we all need to protect our children/women on our family.
Because as the Ronald Regan era Surgeon General said, “Knowledge is Powerful Medicine”.
Her parents are horrible to have put her thru this
And after being in the USA, not speaking up about it.
Why blame her parents? She herself admitted that they were not aware of it as she didn't disclose it to anyone. Her mother was adamant that she should not enter film world .
no only that director and wife to be blamed
Remember she rebelled against her parents . Watch the interview again . She says that clearly and says my parents did not spoil me. Her dad finally allowed and not her mom. Stop blaming her parents. In the end he isolated her from her parents. She didn't say anything. Listen to the entire interview
@@papercityvlogs4325 funny part is that the young girls know very well to rebel against parents, but not against such offenders
This film actress wife was once arrested in call girl racket in Delhi, which was reported in "The Hindu" newspaper long back. Her name was very clearly mentioned, prominent actress Lakshmi, from South. But it got pushed under the carpet, never to be heard again anywhere. She isn't a saint in these terms. Multi talented actress, but a cunning and cheap rated woman personally.
Wow happy to hear the truth. The Tamil actress Lakshmi and shiva chandran .
