Trisha rebuts 'Gilli'-fed gossip

IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, July 27, 2004]

Popular Tamil-Telugu heroine Trisha has had to rebut several rumors at the same time. In an interview with the mass-circulation Tamil weekly Kumudam, the actress attributed the rumors to the phenomenal success of "Gilli", starring her and Vijay. The first and the most predictable rumor was about her relations with Vijay. "We are just friends," was her equally predictable reply. She added that the source of the rumor was a joint party in a big Chennai hotel to celebrate Vijay's success in "Gilli" and her own birthday. Another rumor was that she had driven her father out of her home, as she found it infra dig to live with a man working at a hotel. On the contrary, she said, she was proud of her father Krishnan holding a good post in Benz Park Hotel. Her mother too is working as an executive with Apollo Tubes. A third rumor, also hotly denied by Trisha, was that she attempted suicide. A fourth, and obviously false, rumor was that she had actually died!
