followed on Saturday by Krishna Jayanthi.
Being a very religious household, she did
not take much solid food for these three
days and when she broke the fast with the
festival offerings, she ate a bit more than
usual, which is understandable given the
circumstances. Apparently, the food that
she ate had something wrong in it that turned
into something more serious than just a
stomach upset. She was taken to the hospital
where she was diagnosed with food poisoning.
Obviously, some over anxious reporter seems
to have missed the ‘food’ part
of ‘food poisoning’ and flashed
the news of a suicide attempt. All’s
well that ends well and Rambha was quite
happy to see it that way even as she spoke
about her life and career after quite a
long time. Her career at the moment seems
to be on a temporary high after she essayed
her first-ever double role in the Malayalam
film Kabaddi Kabaddi.
She said that the thoughts of suicide have
never crossed her mind and that she had
seen many ups and downs in her career to
be disturbed by them. Her fortunes have
steadily alternated between Tamil and Telugu.
Her only regret till date remains that her
maiden production venture Three Roses incurred
losses that her elder brother had to suffer.
But she put that aside and came back strongly.
She claimed that there are quite a few people
in Kollywood even today who owe her some
money. But she is too nice a person to go
around making an issue out of it and nor
have any of the unions that are supposed
to interfere in such matters taken any action.
She was a bit disillusioned at that time
and changed base to Bhojpuri films where
she had successful time acting opposite
top stars such as Ravi Kishrn and Ramesh
Tiwari. Even here gossip tales did not cease
as there was loose talk about her romance
with her costars, who were in fact years
elder to her. Rambha said that thoughts
of romance and marriage had never even crossed
her mind, nor had the rumors affected her.
Finally when probed about her plans for
marriage she cited Aishwarya Rai’s
example who got married at 34. She said
that she was yet to reach such an age and
when the time comes she will surely think
about it.
So, a happy ending to a day that went ugly
because of some baseless rumors.
