‘Lover’ actor Harini Sundarajan hits back at trolls for harassing her

Tamil actor Harini Sundarajan blasted trolls for commenting on her role in the latest film ‘Lover’. Sharing a post on her X handle, the actor claimed that many users texted her and abused her for her role. Harini played Aisha, the female lead’s best friend.Â

On Wednesday, Harini shared a post on X and wrote, “This morning, I woke up to some idiots in my DMs swearing at me because they don’t like Aishu in Lover. Firstly, that they think it’s okay to be vile and disrespectful towards an actor because they didn’t like a character they played is beyond me (sic).”Â

Harini, who goes by the social media name ‘Rini Bot’, continued in the comment section, “Secondly, don’t these thick heads realise that this behaviour only warrants the need for more Aishus? Disagreement does not have to be shown with disrespect (sic).”Â

One user agreed with Harini and shared his opinion in the comment section. “Absolutely agree. But one can certainly say with your tweet that the role has got such a polarised impact among the audience that a few are not able to think it’s just a celluloid character ! Continue the good work (sic).”

‘Lover’ revolves around a toxic and abusive relationship between Divya (played by Sri Gouri Priya) and Arun (played by Manikandan). Arun’s insecurities lead him to emotionally and verbally abuse Divya, who struggles to break free from the cycle.Â

Despite the toxicity, Divya continues to forgive Arun, while her close friend Aishu advises her to end the relationship. However, some individuals began empathising with Arun and blamed Aishu for causing problems in the relationship, resulting in online trolling. Harini’s portrayal of Aishu became the subject of memes, with some posts even ridiculing her looks.

The film released on Disney+ Hotstar on March 27. It is directed by Prabhuram Vyas.Â
