Popular actress Kasthuri is known not just for her memorable performances in various films including Kamal's Indian, but also for her outright expression of opinions on various important issues in the society.
Kasthuri was also a participant in the third season of Bigg Boss Tamil. The 'Indian' actress entered the show as a wild card contestant and enthralled the viewers. In a latest tweet, Kasturi has shared about a real life warrior who resembles the story of Kannamma in the popular daily 'Bharathi Kannamma'.
In the series Bharathi Kannamma, the hero Bharathi feels that the child Kannamma bears is not his, owing to his infertility issue faked by his friend, the villainous Venba. However, Kannamma vows to fight this insubordination and prove her innocence.
In similar to this situation, Ilavarasi hailing from Kolathur area of Chennai had borne a child who her husband wanted her to abort. Post the same, he had apparently gone missing and it was then found out that her husband Vijayagopalan had married another lady. The lady is now 65, and it was after 36 years of legal struggle that it was proved in court that Vijayagopalan was indeed the father.
Kasturi has thrown light on the issue in her tweet, in which she says, "A tragic story of delayed justice - A lady named 'Ilavarasi" ( 'princess') but struggled all her life; Pregnant and Abandoned by husband; going to the cops didn't help, as husband was a cop too; After 45 yrs truth has triumphed , but her life wasted."
