Priyamani married Mustafa Raja in 2017 and now speaking to scribes, recollected how she was targetted on internet with hatefilled message due to her interfaith marriage.
She said “When I announced my engagement, I just wanted to share this happy moment with people whom I honestly believed genuinely cared for me. However, I don’t know for what rhyme or reason, unnecessary hate started pouring in and the love jihad accusations followed. They even went to the extent of saying that, when we have kids tomorrow, they would join ISIS."
She went on to add “I understand that since I belong to the media and the film industry, you can say what you want. But why do you want to attack somebody who is not at all (a part of these things)? You don’t even know who that person is. It took a toll on me for 2-3 days because I kept getting a lot of messages. Even now, if I post something with him, nine out of ten comments will be about our religion or caste."
Priyamani was last seen in Officer on Duty and is now starring in Vijay's Jana Nayagan. She will be seen in the Family Man 3 webseries alongside Manoj Bajpayee.
