'Bigg Boss' fame Gayathri Raghuram may have won many enemies during the show but it looks like she is going to win a lot more friends in the coming days.  Gayathri has asked Tamilisai Soundarajan to go easy on Vijay in the 'Mersal' controversy stating "Politics is different from entertainment, entertainment is different from real life. Get it straight. It's just a movie, just a role and actors don't write dialogue. Everyone has opinion. Let's not blame the actor. Movie cleared the censor.".

It may be recalled that Gayathri Raghuram who joined BJP a few years earlier is the National Youth Wing Executive Member of the party and its indeed laudable of her to take on the side of her colleague Vijay against her own party in their attempt to stifle creative freedom.
