The couple’s love story famously began on the sets of the 2015 Tamil hit film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. After dating for several years, they tied the knot in a grand, star-studded ceremony in Mahabalipuram on June 9, 2022. A few months later, they welcomed their twins via surrogacy.

Popular anchor Ranjini Haridas has opened up about the severe mental stress and harrowing personal experiences she had to endure during her 30-year-old career. Speaking through her official YouTube channel, she revealed some shocking incidents that happen behind the scenes in the entertainment industry.

Ranjini detailed how she boldly fought back against misconduct during international stage shows and commercial shoots. From turning into a fierce protector (‘Bhadrakali’) in Dubai when organizers tried to trap female artists, to publicly confronting a coordinator and client in Kannur who demanded she stay back in their room after a shoot, she held nothing back.

She also shared highly disturbing encounters, including a well-known actor sending her shirtless photos and an individual from the music industry asking for sexual favors. Ranjini emphasized that she managed to survive with her dignity intact for so long only because she chose to be uncompromising and tough, but expressed deep concern for younger girls who are too afraid to speak up.

Her revelation is a powerful reminder of the deep-rooted societal prejudices that independent women face and the urgent need to clean up workspaces.

Producer Supriya Menon has strongly criticized YouTube channels and online media platforms for their insensitive behavior during the funeral rituals of the late legendary actor Salim Kumar. Supriya expressed her outrage over media personnel who crowded the funeral with mobile cameras and created chaos during a deeply sorrowful moment.

Her sharp reaction on Instagram Stories came after a video surfaced showing Salim Kumar’s son, Chandhu, visibly distressed and forced to speak harshly to camera operators, pleading with them to step back and give the family some space.

“Once again, a family tries to say goodbye to their loved one, a moment filled with heartbreaking grief and pain. But here again, a swarm of cameras and mics rush in, like vultures closing in on prey to capture this final farewell in close-up,” Supriya wrote.

“A son cries out, asking for a little space, asking them to step back so they can grieve in peace. What have we become? This greed to know everything in real-time has violated all decency and discipline. Let people grieve in peace; they already have enough pain. There must be self-regulation and a sense of direction. This is not journalism; it is exhibitionism! This is completely uncalled for,” she added.

Following the incident, widespread public outrage has erupted across social media platforms targeting online channels for crossing boundaries at funeral venues.

The veteran actor Salim Kumar passed away at a private hospital in Kochi following a cardiac arrest. In accordance with his wishes, his funeral was conducted without any religious rituals.
