Divya Bharathi’s Explosive Call-Out Just Became Tollywood’s Most Talked-About Meltdown — and She Isn’t Holding Back
The upcoming film “Goat” has already seen enough drama off-screen to fuel three seasons of a reality show — and the latest chapter is nothing short of volcanic. A dropped director, an online insult, a furious actress, and a fandom ready for war. Buckle up.
1. A Film in Turmoil — and a director Lashing Out Online
“Goat,” starring Sudigali Sudheer, has been dragging headlines for months, but things escalated when its former director Narresh K Lee—recently removed from the project—decided to spit fire on X.
His target? Lead actress divya Bharathi.
His choice of insult? “Chilaka.”
For him, maybe a joke.
For her, a gendered jab rooted in old-school misogyny.
2. divya Didn’t Just Respond — She Detonated
Her reply wasn’t a clapback; it was a manifesto.
She called out not just the word but the pattern, accusing the director of using similar language on set and repeatedly disrespecting women.
She didn’t dilute it, sugarcoat it, or hide behind PR polish.
It was a full-frontal takedown of casual sexism in the industry — the kind that usually gets brushed aside.
3. The Hero’s Silence? Louder Than Any Slur
In one of the hardest-hitting lines of her statement, divya pointed at someone who said nothing — the film’s hero.
A single sentence from him could have shut things down.
He chose silence.
She chose to expose what that silence means.
4. Trolls Tried—And Failed—to Paint Her as “Always in Controversy”
divya hit back with receipts.
She reminded the public that she has delivered multiple films with the same teams in tamil cinema without a whisper of conflict.
Only this director crossed lines.
Only this incident pushed her to respond.
No pattern.
No feuds.
Just one man who said one word too many.
5. Her Follow-Up Statement? Calm, Sharp, Surgical
While some tried spinning her stand into a “temperamental actress” narrative, divya dismantled it with precision:
No grudges against the film industry
No blanket accusations
Only this one man
Only this one behaviour
And then the final mic-drop:
“If anyone chooses to speak poorly about me, I genuinely wish them well.”
The tone?
Zen warrior with a sword tucked behind a smile.
6. netizens Have Chosen Their Side — And It’s Not the Director’s
Social media is roaring with support for Divya.
People are calling her brave, long overdue, refreshing, and unfiltered.
The director? Quiet.
Almost too quiet.
Silence can be strategic.
Or guilty.
Or both.
