When Vishal defended Sai Dhanshika after she broke down in tears over being bullied by co-star

by

At a pre-release function for the movie “Yogi Da,” Vishal and Sai Dhanshika drew attention when they revealed their wedding date. The couple appeared deeply smitten during their initial joint outing.

Fun fact: Long ago, Vishal actually supported Dhanshika when she faced criticism due to a statement she made.

In the year 2017, Actress Sai Dhanshika was publicizing her movie titled Vizhithiru. However, she overlooked giving proper recognition to her fellow actor, T. Rajender, who appeared briefly in the film for a cameo role.

It was evidently clear that the actress’s mistake upset him greatly, leading him to openly critique her. In fact, T. Rajender subtly criticized Dhanshika as well, suggesting she acted arrogantly in taking on roles like Kabali, which made her overlook his contributions, and implied that she failed to recognize his significance in the industry.

After this incident, things took a small turn for the more intense as Sai Dhanshika reappeared on stage. She explained that her error was due to stage fright rather than deliberate action. In fact, she went so far as to bow deeply before T. Rajender and offer him a heartfelt apology.

However, T. Rajender persisted in his verbal assaults, reducing her to tears. His fellow actors were observed chuckling at his remarks as well.

Or:

T. Rajender didn’t retreat from his harsh words but instead kept attacking, causing her to cry. Even other cast members could be seen laughing at his comments.

Or:

Rather than backing off, T. Rajender continued hurling insults at her, resulting in her tears. His fellow actors were even seen chuckling at the remarks.

In response, actor Vishal, who served as the president of Tamil Nadigar Sangam at that time, made a strong statement intended to silence T. Rajender.

Vishal took up the cause of Dhanshika in his extensive letter, a portion of which stated, “It’s tough for women to advance in the film industry. I am personally acquainted with Dhanshika, and those who know her are aware that she wouldn’t have deliberately done something like this.

He stated, “I firmly denounce Mr. TR for persistently attacking Dhanshika even after she had already offered an apology. Under the circumstances, he could have easily spared this entire incident.

To put it bluntly, I couldn’t help but speak up when I witnessed Dhansika’s peers chuckling and applauding as she faced bullying. I felt compelled to call them out for what I considered a disgraceful act.

In the present day, Vishal and Dhanshika have officially set their wedding date for August 29 of this very year.
