Bhuvaneswari triggers a storm

Leading actors and actresses of Kollywood met the city police commissioner yesterday to lodge a complaint with him against the news item published in a leading Tamil daily against television-cum-film actress Bhuvaneswari and other actresses.

Actress Bhuvaneswari

Actress Bhuvaneswari, who had starred in films like 'Boys' and 'Middle Class Madhavan', was arrested by the city police from her Adyar residence on charges of indulging in 'prostitution'. While publishing the news of her arrest along with a photograph of her, the daily had also brought out the names of the actresses 'revealed' by Bhuvaneswari as those who are into the flesh trade.

This has irked the Nadigar Sangam, to which actors and actresses owe their allegiance, which has demanded action against the daily for publishing news that might tarnish the image of the said actresses. Natesan, manager of Nadigar Sangam, went to the chief minister's office yesterday and submitted a formal petition seeking action against the daily in question.

Many leading actors and actresses, who met at the Sangam's building, decided to submit a complaint with the city police commissioner on the matter. In their memorandum, they have stated that 'some of the' news items appearing in a section of the press have been 'maligning' the image of the actresses and that it seemed a 'pre-planned' act on the part of the daily. Therefore, action needed to be initiated against the daily in question, they demanded.

Sarath Kumar, president of the Nadigar Sangam, said that possibilities will be explored for taking legal action against the daily for publishing 'false news' about the actresses. "The daily is bound to give explanation about the basis on which they published the list of actresses allegedly in the 'flesh trade', purportedly given by the arrested actress. How did they manage to get access to the information the actress is said to have told the Police? We would file defamation case against the daily, for sure!" thundered Sarath.

On Wednesday (7th October), an emergency meeting of the Sangam will be held at the Sangam's premises in Chennai. Protests will also be held against the daily for 'maligning' members of the Sangam, Sarath Kumar added.

The statement posted on 7th October, was not made by me. There is something wrong or mischievous happening with Chennai online in entering the name who posted it. Remember, think from a different angle that they are a community of artistes.. She is also a soul like others. Forgiveness is Hindu and Christian culture. We should not make business out of it. The manner in which she gave statement about the rates is certain to astonish the Inland Revenue – unbelievable. I hope Sarath Kumar has taken steps to rectify everything.

One should understand that we are living in a changing world. It appears that statement was obtained under duress and not voluntarily, when it becomes a sensitive matter. There is something called 'responsibility' when arrests are made without realizing that number of families are shattered or their future being demolished. The motive of making some profits cannot be ruled out in the present context. These are a people belonging to a community of artistes. After all, they are also human beings. Tomorrow, any single or group or the entire community of artistes may form a Non-governmental Organization for the welfare of animals such as cows, dogs, etc., or for the destitute children or even for a Cancer Institute or Hernia Institute, which the Police or media cannot imagine. In foreign countries, the artistes have launched wonderful projects for the welfare of the destitutes. They are not worried about their private lives. Remember, the number of poor children on the streets of Tamil Nadu for whom no one has turned their eyes towards them. What if the film artistes of Tamil Nadu launch a project for the welfare of the destitutes of Tamil Nadu. They have already demonstrated their support for the welfare of Sri Lanka Tamils. Time is not far away for Tamil Nadu artistes to engage in social activities. It is time to drop all petty issues and shed all differences and work together with the film artistes for the betterment of Tamil Nadu.

You cannot take action against the daily. After all it only published what Bhuvaneswari told. she gave some names. You can proceed against Bhuvaneswari. But she is sooooo pretty and beautiful...who will have the mind to harass her.. I am prepared to marry her.
