South
Indian
actress
Sruthi
Hariharan
recently
won
a
National
award
for
her
role
in
Nathicharami.
Despite
being
one
of
the
most
talented
actresses
and
having
been
part
of
the
finest
of
films,
she
stayed
away
from
the
limelight,
following
her
infamous
#MeToo
incident.
The
actress
who
had
filed
a
defamation
case
against
senior
actor
Arjun
Sarja,
is
facing
a
major
setback
in
the
case,
as
the
High
Court
has
dismissed
her
plea.
According
to
Times
of
India
reports,
the
court
found
the
reasons
stated
by
Sruthi
unreasonable,
hence
rejecting
her
plea.
Arjun
Sarja
with
the
help
of
his
cousin
Dhruva
Sarja
had
filed
a
defamation
suit
against
her
for
Rs
5
crore
at
the
Bangalore
City
Civil
Court.
In
2016,
the
actress
named
Arjun
Sarja
in
her
#MeToo
story.
She
said
the
senior
actor
sexually
harassed
her
during
the
filming
of
their
film
Vismaya.
Talking
about
the
impact
it
had
on
her,
she
told
in
an
interview,
"Looking
back
I
remember
attempting
to
normalise
his
behaviour
and
ignore
his
comments-
lest
there
be
issues
in
the
production
of
the
film
in
entirety.
I
maintained
a
cordial
distance.
All
the
while
knowing
he
was
wrong
and
wondering
why
he
never
stopped."

further
added.
Sruthi
is
currently
busy
playing
a
new
mother.
She
welcomed
her
first
child
with
husband
Ram
a
few
weeks
ago.
Speculations
suggest
that
Sruthi
Hariharan
is
residing
in
the
US.
She
also
made
a
comeback
on
Twitter
after
remaining
aloof
for
months
together.
Not
much
information
regarding
her
plans
in
the
industry
is
available.
