Simran FINALLY breaks silence if her ‘dabba roles’ comment was for Jyotika: ‘I don’t think actresses can…’

by

Simran gained widespread recognition and became one of the well-known actresses in the Southern film industry by the early 2000s. However, she found herself embroiled in a scandal after making remarks about her ‘dabba role’ experience, where she reminisced on an occasion when another actress had criticized her for playing matriarchal characters in movies.

Afterwards, Simran subtly expressed her preference for portraying more complex characters rather than stereotypical ones, which caused some people to perceive this as a subtle critique towards her fellow actress Jyotika, who has been featured in the recent Netflix series Dabba Cartel.

In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, she clarified and elaborated on her earlier comment, stating her strong belief that it’s challenging for two actresses to maintain lasting friendships within the entertainment industry.

She expressed her viewpoint that it’s challenging for actresses to maintain friendships within the industry, as this recent incident has shown. She found it particularly painful when a friend causes harm. Interestingly, the person spoke to her the following day, and although things weren’t awkward, their friendship will not remain unchanged.

As an ardent admirer pouring out my thoughts, let me clarify that the statement I made earlier came from a place of pain. I merely expressed what was on my heart at that moment. Furthermore, allow me to emphasize that for me, taking on ‘aunty’ roles is not something to be shunned or looked down upon. It’s an opportunity to bring depth and authenticity to characters that resonate with many of us.

The actress noted that she’s been portraying similar characters since the start of her acting journey, and her preferred phrase is, “Playing matriarch roles isn’t something to be ashamed of.

For those not familiar, Simran didn’t explicitly mention Jyotika in her last comment. But when she used the term “dabba,” which is also the name of a recent series that Jyotika starred in (Dabba Cartel), fans were quick to draw connections and interpret her remark as referring to Jyotika.

Returning to the topic of Simran, she’s gearing up for another movie launch titled “Tourist Family”. This forthcoming Tamil comedy-drama is scheduled to hit the screens on May 1, 2025, and has sparked quite a buzz among her fans.

Speaking from personal experience, I’ve just returned from a spiritual journey alongside my beloved partner, Suriya, to the sacred sites of Kolhapur Mahalakshmi and Kamakhya Devi Temple. Our faces were aglow with joy as we respectfully participated in shared rituals at these revered temples.
