Money did not bring any good to me: Meera Jasmine
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,October 18 2004]
This year's national award-winning actress Meera Jasmine said here Sunday that all the money she had earned through acting in movies brought her only sadness.
"I have now realised that all the money that I earned fetched me more enemies than friends," she told reporters here, some 150 km from the state capital, on the sidelines of a public function.
"I have realised even my family members are now against me and money will never bring love," said Jasmine, who won the award for her sensitive portrayal of a Muslim divorcee in T.V. Chandran's Malayalam movie "Paddum Onnu Oru Vilapam".
She filed a police complaint Saturday against her father and two sisters alleging they had cornered her property.
Jasmine, who has acted in several Tamil and Telugu films apart from many Malayalam movies, said she now wanted to do weighty roles.
When pressed for more on her personal affairs, she said: "I don't want to make any more comments because it is my personal matter."
Jasmine's father, Joseph Phillip, has blamed a director for the present controversy.
"We have done only what any dutiful parents would have done. Now it is time that she settles down," Phillip had said.
