Vijay Sethupathi is a name almost everyone knows in the world of movies. He’s been on a roll lately with many popular roles. But now, the actor is making headlines for something much less fun. Serious accusations of sexual harassment have come to light.
A user recently posted on X, previously known as Twitter, making these claims against the star. Vijay Sethupathi wasted no time in responding. He firmly denied all the accusations. He spoke to Deccan Chronicle about the situation. His team has also taken legal action. They filed a complaint with cybercrime authorities regarding the matter.
Woman Seeks Fame, Says Actor
Vijay Sethupathi believes the woman making these claims just wants attention. “Anyone who knows me even a little will find this ridiculous,” he stated. “I know who I am. Such disgusting accusations do not bother me.” He added that his family and close friends were upset. But he told them not to worry. “This woman clearly wants attention,” he explained. “She just needs a few minutes of fame. Okay, let her get her fame.”
Vijay also shared that he has faced rumors for a long time. “For the past seven years, I’ve dealt with constant whispers,” he mentioned. “They have not affected me, and they never will.” He feels these latest claims are just more noise.
Details of the Accusations
The woman who initially made the claims is named Ramya Mohan. Her post on X has since been taken down. In her post, Ramya alleged that a young woman was molested and exploited. This supposedly happened under the guise of “industry rules.” She claimed the young woman faced difficulties and later received help.
Ramya’s post also included financial accusations against Vijay Sethupathi. It claimed he offered two lakh rupees for “Caravan Favor.” It also mentioned an offer of fifty thousand rupees for “Drive.” The post questioned why Vijay acts like a “saint” on social media. It also criticized some insensitive people. It stated they were more interested in questioning the truth or blaming the victim.
