“I am a proud Tamilian and I respect Tamil culture and tradition”- Trisha

After deactivating her Twitter account over the Jallikattu controversy, top heroine Trisha has issued a Press statement in which the 'Kodi' actor has reiterated her claim that she never spoke anything against Jallikattu and that she is proud of her Tamil identity.

This is to inform the general public that i have been deeply troubled and defamed for no fault of mine over the last week regarding the Jallikattu issue. I made my stance very clear on my social networking account yesterday that i have never been against or opposed Jallikattu. 

I am a proud  Tamilian by birth and i believe and respect in Tamil culture and tradition and would never go against the sentiments of my own people who had been instrumental in my growth and stature. But i am deeply hurt at the disrespect and flithy language being used towards me and the people who supported me,by some vested interest. In the  midst of me doing damage control and making my stance clear,my twitter account was hacked and a tweet was sent out putting me in very insensitive light and hurting my fellow Tamilians. This effort by them to detach me from the Tamil audience whom I value much will not happen . I am very confident on this. 

Considering the gravity of the issue i immediately reset my password and deactivated my account until the higher authorities get involved. I type this out with a lot of hurt and pain  i assure from the bottom of my heart that I am never against my own people and keep  wondering why anyone would go through such an extent to defame me and put me in bad light. 

However i thank my fellow colleagues and well wishers for the support meted out to me through this harrowing time.i wish everyone a wonderful Pongal and hope this makes my stance very clear,once for all.

Meanwhile Trisha is still being abused in social media platforms-Facebook and Twitter-for her angry outburst against her attackers. We hope they calm down with this clarification from the actor.
