Vijay Sethupathi has been one of the most earthy and versatile actors in Indian cinema for a long time. With a career that has rested on offbeat roles and an unassuming off-screen persona, he had a reputation that was virtually invincible. That’s why the recent rumor trying to associate his name with a casting couch scandal has sent shockwaves through fans and the industry.
Known affectionately as “Makkal Selvan” (The People’s Treasure), Sethupathi’s journey from a humble background to stardom has inspired many. He is often seen as an outsider who broke into the industry with sheer talent and sincerity. Over the years, he has chosen complex roles that defy hero stereotypes, and off-screen, he has rarely been caught in the glare of scandal.
So when internet sites were abuzz with accusations, most were quick to come to his defense, bringing up his spotless record and courteous public behavior. At the controversy’s eye is an artist by the name of Dr. Ramya Mohan, a psychiatrist in UK-based practice and artistic professional of Indian descent. Though what exactly the accusation is, her name is loosely linked to dialogues of casting couch experiences.
So far, no official complaint or confirmed statement has been lodged against Vijay Sethupathi. Neither the actor nor his agent has commented on the surrounding rumors, and there is no reputable media report linking him directly to any misbehavior. Yet the fact that his name has been mentioned at all in relation to the controversy has provoked discussion regarding the speed at which public opinion can change with the rise of social media.
Most in the business have called for caution, cautioning individuals not to rush to judgment based on hearsay. For the moment, however, it is a reminder that even those we esteem most are not above the burden of rumor warranted or not.
Whether or not these rumors have any basis, they are a stark reminder of the tenuousness of reputation in the public sphere. For an actor such as Vijay Sethupathi, who is better known for his acting skills and humility than controversy, this scandal may blow over, but its resonance will echo in the minds of the people.
Until there is more clarity, fans and critics will observe closely, holding out for the truth to prevail against the din.
