Highlights
- Veteran actor Ambika shares her view on Vijay and Trisha’s public appearances.
- She says she would avoid situations that could invite criticism or speculation.
- Ambika questions whether friends should have to repeatedly defend their relationship.
Several videos from the event circulated on social media, showing Vijay and Trisha watching the action from the stands. Their appearance has now prompted veteran actor Ambika to share her thoughts on how close friends should conduct themselves when public attention and speculation are involved.
What did Ambika say about Vijay and Trisha?
Speaking to RedPix, Ambika said she would personally avoid situations that could invite criticism or potentially affect the reputation of a close friend.
“Recently, I gave an interview in which I spoke about Trisha. In response, someone came out in support of Trisha and asked, ‘Was she the Trisha of the 1980s?’ Now, I want to know two things. If I were the Trisha of the 1980s, then who was the Vijay of the 1980s?” she said.
Ambika was also asked about discussions around Vijay and Trisha wearing similar outfits and travelling together.
“If I were in that position, and I knew something I did could bring criticism or give my friend a bad name, I would avoid it. That is my opinion,” she said.
‘Do we have to keep fighting and defending you?’
Ambika went on to say that repeated public speculation can also leave friends having to defend their relationship.
“Otherwise, people also begin to feel disappointed. They may say, ‘Fine, you say that you are just friends. But do we have to keep fighting and defending you every single time?’” she said.
She added that people should be “a little careful” about how they conduct themselves if they value a friendship.
