Vijay Sethupathi is one of Tamil’s most respected and talented actors. He is known for his role in blockbusters films like Super Deluxe, 96, Vikram Vedha, and Maharaja. Recently, the Jawan actor has found himself in a controversy, after a woman named, Ramya Mohan has accused him of fostering a troubling environment including dr***, manipulation, casting couch and more.
Ramya Mohan’s allegation against actor, Vijay Sethupathi
A social media user by the name Ramya Mohan, recently took to her X handle (formerly Twitter), and accused Telugu actor, Vijay Sethupathi of leading a troubled environment in the film industry. In her post, she claimed that Vijay’s name is involved with issues like dr***, casting-couch, manipulation, and exp***** of vulnerable individuals. She claimed that Vijay asked Rs. 2 lakhs for ‘caravan favours’, Rs. 50,000 for dri***, and then he acts like a saint in front of the media. She posted:
“Kollywood’s drug & casting couch culture isn’t a joke. A girl I know now a known face in media was dragged into a world she never signed up for. She’s now in rehab center. Dr***, manipulation, and transactional exploitation disguised as industry norm. @VijaySethuOffl has offered Rs. 2L for “caravan favors”, Rs. 50k for “drives” and acts like saint on social media. She was used by him for years. This isn’t one story. It’s many and the media worships these men like they are saints. The drug-s*x nexus is real. Not a joke.”
She uploaded another post, in which she shared her frustration on people, who focus more on blaming the victim, rather than finding out the actual truth. She mentioned that the girl’s family got to know about this issue only when they went through her diary and phone chats. She penned:
“It’s insane how some insensitive morons are more focused on questioning the source or blaming the victim than actually acknowledging the truth. This truth hit the family like a storm when they went through her diary and phone chats. This wasn’t just some story. This was her life, her pain…”
Has Vijay Sethupathi said anything about this?
There has been no confirmation or statement from Vijay Sethupathi or any trusted source’s side on the claims made by Ramya Mohan. As of now, there is no confirmation of these allegations as there is no FIR, interview or legal proceedings on this issue. Another major concern with this claim is that there is no identity of the victim. Without any complaint or official investigation, this allegation remains unverified.
An old interview of Vijay Sethupathi against casting couch
Amid these allegations, an old interview of Vijay Sethupathi, from 2017, is coming to the surface. In the interview, the actor labeled such acts as coming from a ‘corrupt mindset’ and called such acts disgusting and unacceptable. Over the years, he has also shown support for survivors. The recent allegations against the actor contradicts everything that he has said about casting couch and hara****** in his previous interviews.
