Mumbai: Hitting back at trolls that criticised her spiritual trance at a ‘Jagran’ (religious gathering), actor-dancer Sudha Chandran said that she doesn’t feel the need to explain or justify herself to anyone.
“I am not here to justify. I have my perception towards life. I have certain connections that I respect. Mujhe logon se koi lena dena nahi hai. Joh troll karte hai, acchi baat hai, khush rahe apne zindagi mein (I don’t care about those people. The ones who are trolling, good for them. Be happy). What about those millions of people who could connect and resonate with it? Mere liye woh important hai (For me, that is important),” Sudha said in an interview with Zoom.
She further stated that she is a self-made woman, and not answerable to anyone’s questions or trolls.
“In my life, I have never thought about log kya bolenge. Even after my accident, logon ne kaha tha ki kya bewakoofi kar rahi ho tum (Even after my accident, people said I was being foolish for the activities I did). Lekin jab wahi ek success story ban jata hai, log usi ke baare mein charcha karte hai (But once it becomes a success story, people only talk about it),” she said, adding that she will continue living her life with dignity, respect and blessings from the divine.
Earlier this week, several videos of Sudha showing her in a trance-like state while attending a jagran, went viral on social media platforms.
When some of the attendees at the gathering tried to stop her, Sudha started biting them, while appearing to be spiritually possessed during the devotional moment.
The actor was seen hopping around the hall on one leg, unable to control her emotions.

She has also featured in daily soaps such as ‘Yeh Hain Mohabbatein’, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, and ‘Mata Ki Chowki’, ‘Kalyug Mein Bhakti Ki Shakti’ among others.
