became
a

in
the

was
tumultuous,
facing
criticisms
leading

re-entry
via
a
wild

to
sway

including
her

She
ventured

and
kept

in
movies
and
TV
shows.

Adding
another
layer
to

with
Vanitha
herself
being
vocal

turn
of
events
took
a
drastic
toll
on

when
she
was
allegedly
attacked
by
a

of

distressing

stating
she
was
assaulted
late
at
night
while
returning
to
her
car
parked
at
her

questioned
her
support
for

Antony's
red
card
eviction
and
abruptly
attacked
her,
leaving
her
face
bleeding
and
swollen.
Despite
seeking

chose
not
to
involve
the
authorities,
expressing
shock
and
confusion
over
the
identity

Sharing
the
shocking
ordeal
on

such
distressing
encounters.

the
assault
has
sparked
concern
and
support
from
her
followers
and
fans
alike.
