Hansika Motwani, a name that’s been in the limelight since her early acting days as a child artist, has grown into one of the most loved actresses in South Indian cinema.
From her adorable debut in Shaka Laka Boom Boom to making waves in Tamil and Telugu films, Hansika has carved a special place for herself in the hearts of fans with her charm, screen presence, and bubbly personality. But while her professional life has been quite the fairytale, her personal life recently took center stage – and not without its fair share of drama.
The actress found herself at the heart of a controversy after announcing her engagement to businessman Sohael Khaturiya. Social media was quick to jump on reports claiming that Sohael was allegedly married to Hansika’s best friend and that Hansika had even attended their wedding.
The trolling was relentless, with many accusing her of “stealing” her best friend’s husband. It wasn’t just a rumour—it turned into a full-blown scandal online.
Hansika, however, chose not to stay silent. In her reality show Love Shaadi Drama on Disney+ Hotstar, she not only shared intimate glimpses of her wedding preparations with her family but also addressed the allegations and online hate that came her way. She had earlier revealed on the show how brutal the trolling was right after her engagement was made public.
Now, in a recent interview with GoodTimes, Hansika is setting the record straight in her own words. Addressing the swirling rumours about her marriage, she said,
“The whole narrative media written–best friend, this friend and all…I was like ‘are baap re (oh my God)’.”
Shutting down the gossip once and for all, she clarified,
“No, but he is my brother’s best friend. He’s always been around us.”
It’s refreshing to see Hansika finally speaking her truth and not shying away from the messy part of fame. In a world where narratives can be twisted in a second, her candidness is commendable. Love, after all, is personal—and Hansika is reminding everyone that not every story should be judged by headlines alone.
