She wrote that in spite of such obstacles, these artists put on a brave front and smile for the camera without putting forth what they are actually going through. She wrote that a few artists have already spoken to her about the issue while a few others chose to remain silent and suffer through the humiliation thrown at them in a different form. Vasuki Bhaskar wrote at the end of the tweet that people who have been feeling doubtful in the industry must remember Thala Ajith’s journey and hold on to it. Have a look at the tweet here.
