Reacting to a complaint by her mother that she was missing from home, young actress Saranya of ‘Peranmai’ fame has said she has been staying with her friend following ‘misunderstanding’ with her mother.

On Monday, Manjula, a resident of Ganga Nagar First Main Road in Kodambakkam, lodged a complaint with the Chennai city Police Commissioner that her daughter Saranya had gone missing.

Manjula alleged in her complaint that Saranya, 22, had left home on the pretext of acting in a movie but had not returned. Though Manjula had been unwell for the last few weeks, Saranya never turned up to help her, she alleged.

Denying the allegations, the up and coming actress said, “there is no truth in my mother’s claim. I am very much in Chennai, busy acting in a film titled ‘Mazhaikaalam’. I left home since I had some problems with my mother.”
