Nivetha Pethuraj, who is busy juggling film projects in Telugu and Tamil, was in for a huge shock when she discovered a cockroach in her meal. She had ordered meals through the online food delivery service Swiggy and in a much-disgusted mood posted a picture of her dish with the insect inside on Twitter and Instagram

“I have no idea what standards @swiggyindia and the restaurants now a days are maintaining. I found cockroach twice lately in my food. It’s very vital to inspect these restaurants on a regular basis and fine them heavily if not upto standards. Moonlight takeaway omr,” a rightly miffed Nivetha wrote.

After several of her followers also shared that they had the same bad experience Nivetha added "And from the messages I'm receiving this apparently not the first time the restaurant added cockroach to their food. How can the restaurant be so reckless? Requesting @swiggindia to remove this restaurant from the app." (sic)

On the professional front, Nivetha Pethuraj is teaming up with three other young heroines Megha Akash, Reba Monica John and Manjima Mohan for a new female-centric movie, 'October 31st Ladies Night' directed by A.L. Vijay. Her upcoming Tamil flicks are Venkat Prabhu's multistarrer 'Party' and 'Pon Manickavel' starring Prabhu Deva.

@swiggy_in either maintain your standards on which restaurants you choose to list in your app or close the app and get out of business. This is second freaking time it’s happening.
