Chennai: Actor Divyabharathi has addressed rumours linking her with music composer G.V. Prakash Kumar, asserting that she is being unnecessarily dragged into matters unrelated to her. Through a social media post, she stated that she would not allow baseless allegations to tarnish her reputation.

Speculation had been rife that Divyabharathi was the reason behind G.V. Prakash’s divorce. It was in this context that she chose to clarify her stance.

"My name has been dragged into a personal family matter that has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have no connection to G.V.'s family issues. To be blunt, I would never date an actor, and certainly not a married man. I've remained silent until now, believing that baseless rumours didn’t warrant my attention. However, this has crossed a line. I refuse to let my reputation be tarnished by unfounded allegations. I am a strong, independent woman, and I will not be defined by gossip. Let’s focus on building a better world instead of spreading negativity. Respect my boundaries. This is my first and final statement on this matter. Thank you!" she stated on Instagram.

G.V. Prakash announced his separation from his wife, Saindhavi, in May last year. He and Divyabharathi have previously worked together in films such as Bachelor and Kingston. The composer-actor had earlier dismissed the rumours, stating in an interview that he shares only a friendship with Divyabharathi and urged people to refrain from spreading unnecessary speculation.
