Tamil singer Suchitra recently found herself in the midst of controversy after making sensational allegations against her ex-husband, actor, and stand-up comedian Karthik Kumar. During an interview, Suchitra had claimed that Karthik Kumar, along with actors Dhanush and Shah Rukh Khan, were gay. She further alleged that Karthik and Dhanush would throw parties with other men late at night.
Legal Action and Public Apology
Following these remarks, Karthik Kumar filed a defamation lawsuit against Suchitra, seeking ā¹1 crore in damages for tarnishing his reputation. The court issued an interim injunction, preventing Suchitra from making any further defamatory comments about Karthik.
As the case continues in court, Suchitra recently issued a public apology to her ex-husband through a video. In the video, she expressed regret for calling Karthik Kumar gay and acknowledged the damage her words might have caused to his career. She also revealed that she had received multiple calls from the Pattinapakkam police station in Chennai regarding the case filed against her by Karthik.
Suchitra's Apology and Subsequent Actions
In her video, Suchitra stated, "I apologize publicly to my ex-husband Karthik Kumar for calling him gay. I don't want to prolong this issue any further, and I hope this apology helps you get more opportunities in the film industry. I regret the damage my words may have caused to your career." However, within two hours of posting the video, Suchitra deleted it.
The controversy has sparked significant discussion, with many questioning the sincerity of Suchitra's apology, given her satirical tone in parts of the video. The case remains under legal scrutiny, and the impact of her apology on the ongoing defamation case is yet to be seen.
