Ranjitha on Monday (May 14) appeared before the extra Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court at Egmore in Chennai and filed a complaint against Kanchi Sankaracharya Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, alleging that he had made defamatory remarks about her.
The actress, who's a disciple of Swami Nithyananda, couldn't complete the defamation proceedings formalities on Friday as a result of her late arrival in court. She was well on time on Monday to give her complaint to Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate V P Ravindran.
Coming down heavily at the pontiff who gave unfavorable statements against her, the actress has sought to initiate defamation proceedings.
According to her, Jayendra Saraswathi, in an interview, cast aspersions on her relationship with Nithyananda. Denying the allegations, Ranjitha said they were made intentionally by the Kanchi seer to defame her. She added that she had suffered immense agony and stress as a result of malicious statement.
The actress with her advocates came to the Court to file the case. Chatting with reporters later, Ranjitha claimed there has been no truth within the comments made by the Kanchi Seer.
