Senior Kannada artist Pavitra Lokesh is no stranger to the Telugu audience. She has acted in popular Tollywood titles such as 'Race Gurram', 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata', 'Duvvada Jagannadham', and 'Jai Lava Kusa', among others. Over the past few days, her alleged relationship with Senior Naresh has been rumoured about. 

In a police complaint, Pavitra has alleged that many fake social media handles have sprouted in recent days to besmirch her image. The tarnishing has reached beyond tolerable levels, going by her complaint. 

The actress has lodged a complaint with the cybercrime police in Mysuru, reports say.

A few Kannada TV channels have been reporting on the issue prominently. A channel even said that a Kannadiga has been insulted in the whole fracas by unknown forces. 

In the context of the controversy, Naresh's personal life has also been talked about by YouTube channels. It's known that the actor, who is related to Mahesh Babu and Superstar Krishna, has married thrice. Naresh is mum on the ongoing controversy.
