Thiruvananthapuram: Actor Dhyan Sreenivasan gave a playful yet pointed response while addressing online media during the pooja of his new film, indirectly trolling fellow actor Ajmal Ameer.

When asked how one should react if someone spreads rumours or negativity about him, Dhyan said, “If you didn’t do it, just say AI did it.” Asked if he was referring to Ajmal, he laughed and replied, “Chumma thiri” (let it slide off).

Later, when asked if he had any comments on the Ajmal controversy, Dhyan silently got into his car and left.

The exchange comes amid controversy over several audio messages circulating on social media, allegedly featuring Ajmal Ameer making inappropriate demands. Ajmal has consistently defended himself, stating the audios are AI-generated. Following this, more women came forward sharing similar experiences.

Dhyan’s witty remark has since gone viral.
