Actor Sathyaraj, known for his role in Baahubali, has publicly defended his daughter, Divya Sathyaraj, a nutritionist and social activist, following a wave of unfounded rumors about her personal life circulating on social media. The controversy began when AI-generated images, purportedly showing Divya with a man, were shared online, leading some to falsely assert that these were from a secret wedding. The situation escalated with even more outrageous claims regarding multiple marriages and children. In response, Divya took a stand against the misinformation, receiving strong support from her father, who commended her as a hardworking and self-sufficient individual.

The issue gained traction when Divya took to her social media platforms to refute the viral rumors. She called out content creators for disseminating false information, clarifying that the images in question were entirely fabricated using AI technology. "There’s a photo of me in dark glasses next to a man in the hills. Some are claiming it’s a wedding picture," she stated. Denying the allegations, she added, "Why would I wear dark glasses for a wedding? The person in that image isn’t me."

When a follower inquired about the nature of the rumors, Divya humorously responded that she was being accused of having "three children from two marriages," highlighting the absurdity of the speculation.

Sathyaraj's Support for Divya

In conjunction with her clarification, Divya shared a statement from her father, Sathyaraj, which read, "Dear Press and Media Family, Vanakkam! There are numerous rumors about my daughter, Nutritionist Ms. Divya Sathyaraj, circulating on social media. None of these claims are true." Like any protective father, Sathyaraj described Divya as a 'hardworking, dignified, and self-made woman,' concluding with, "I am immensely proud of my child."

This isn’t the first occasion where Sathyaraj has openly supported Divya’s views and choices. Over the years, she has candidly discussed topics related to marriage, parenthood, and women's rights. In a previous interview, she expressed her belief that having children should not be inherently linked to marriage. "I will never accept the notion that one must marry before having children. I am fully open to the idea of having a child outside of marriage," she stated. Her remarks sparked significant debate but also garnered support from those who viewed them as progressive and indicative of evolving social norms. Sathyaraj has expressed his complete backing for his daughter’s perspective, stating that he adheres to the principles of social reformer Periyar and does not subscribe to caste or religious rituals. He emphasized that marriage is a personal decision and that modern medical advancements allow for parenthood without the necessity of marriage, fully endorsing his daughter's forward-thinking views.
