Among the actresses in Tollywood who have established a strong fan base, Nivetha Thomas stands out. Despite having acted in only a few films, she has attained a level of popularity that rivals that of leading heroines in Telugu cinema. Nivetha has primarily chosen roles that emphasize acting over bold characterizations, gaining significant recognition within the Tollywood audience. At the teaser launch event for her upcoming film ’35,’ Nivetha Thomas encountered an unexpected question, and her response is now going viral on social media.
What Happened?
Nivetha Thomas stars in the upcoming film ’35,’ which is set to be released soon. During the recent teaser launch event, a journalist questioned her about body shaming. The reporter asked, “The weight gain of artists like Anushka or yourself has gone viral on social media. There’s still a prevailing notion on social media that a heroine must be ‘size zero’. What is your response to this?” Nivetha answered with a smile and a pointed reply, “I need to tell you this. Perhaps this ‘viral’ concept only affects you because I am not aware of it. My simple answer to your question is… ’35’ does not represent the weight of anyone here—no cast member, no technician.” She also subtly warned to keep questions relevant to the film. The video of this exchange is currently going viral online.
First Time as ‘Mother’…
In the film ’35,’ Nivetha Thomas, along with Vishwadev R and Priyadarshi, plays a leading role. The film, directed by Nandakishore Emani, will make its debut in theaters on August 15. Set in Tirupati, the story features Nivetha Thomas in the role of a mother. The teaser, recently released, shows scenes of a mother striving for her son, who leaves home after being scolded by his father for poor exam scores. The movie will be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, and the teaser has received positive responses from viewers. Have a look for yourself.
I Am Married: Nivetha Thomas
Actress Nivetha Thomas recently responded to rumors about her marriage that had circulated online in the past. She discussed this at the teaser release event, “As part of the promotion for this film, I posted a photo on social media. Many people assumed I was getting married based on that photo, and news articles appeared. My mother sent me that photo asking, ‘Oh really? When did you find a boy for me?’” She humorously commented about her co-stars in the film, “I am married. He is my husband. These are my two sons, Arun and Varun.” Hero Rana is serving as the presenter for this movie.
