Actress Ranya Rao from Kannada cinema has recently found herself in the spotlight following her arrest over an alleged gold smuggling incident. According to news outlets, it’s also being speculated that a well-known political figure may be implicated in this case as well.
Based on information from News18, AS Ponnanna, the legal advisor to the Karnataka chief minister, has affirmed that the law will be applied equally, regardless of any influential politicians involved.
According to reports by The Times of India, investigations are ongoing for a jewelry store located in Bengaluru’s bustling commercial area, following accusations that questionable ornament purchases took place within the establishment.
For those not already aware, it’s been reported that Ranya Rao, an actress and stepdaughter of a high-ranking police official, was apprehended at the Bengaluru airport for attempting to illegally transport gold bars from Dubai. The gold, valued at approximately Rs 12.56 crores, was found concealed around her waist beneath a hidden belt.
Throughout the span of a year, the actress made approximately 30 trips from Dubai, consistently following the same method of operation. Following a search at her residence, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) confiscated property valued at around 172.9 million rupees, found gold jewelry worth about 20.6 million rupees and approximately 2.67 crores in cash.
In simpler terms, the actor’s father, Ramachandra Rao (who is a DGP), has made it clear that his daughter resides independently with her spouse, having chosen to stay apart from their family home.
Starting off in the film industry, Ranya Rao first appeared in Kannada movies. Her initial role came in 2014 through the film titled Maanikya. This action-drama was skillfully directed by Kichcha Sudeepa and he starred as the main protagonist in the movie.
The remade film featuring Prabhas, titled differently from its original Mirchi, garnered favorable reviews from critics and proved to be a financial hit. Apart from Sudeepa and Ranya, the movie showcased prominent actors such as Ravichandran, Varalaxmi Sharathkumar, Ramya Krishnan, P. Ravi Shankar, and several others in significant roles.
Furthermore, the actress had also appeared in films like Wagah and Pataki.
