CHENNAI: There has been a lot spoken about Priya Bhavanishankar's foray into the film industry over the last couple of days. On Thursday, the actor put an end to rumours surrounding her jump from television to film industry.

A media house reported that PBS moved to films for big money. In her social media post, she wrote, "I would like to know the source of this so-called ‘statement by me’....even if I had said this, I don't understand what's the big deal about it? Yes, I do work for money. Everybody works for money. Who doesn't? Don't you? Why is it made to sound so cheap and filthy when it comes from an actor?"

When DT Next contacted Priya, she said, "Some things are not worth a comment. But I had to put up that post because I was upset. I happened to see a post a couple of days ago, then yesterday and the entire issue was blown out of proportion today. What started as a ghee rice in the making is now a delicious biryani with extra spices being added to it everyday."

The actor who currently has Indian 2 and Demonte Colony 2 adds that she has no clue from where the entire rumour started, "As I said, I have no idea who started this. This is purely fictional. I haven't even made such statements anywhere before. All said and done, it's not worth it," she laughs it off.
