Vanitha Vijaykumar, of Chandralekha and more recently, Bigg Boss Tamil 3 fame, has made an emotional plea to her estranged family, with whom she has been trying to rekindle her relationship for years now.

While this has been an ongoing issue, the spotlight has fallen back on the relationship of Vanitha and her father Vijaykumar, a huge name in the film industry, as well as her numerous siblings, including actor Arun Vijay, after her roller coaster performance in the popular reality television show.

Vanitha, who was also involved in a publicised custody battle of one her daughters with ex husband Anand Rajan (a major talking point in Bigg Boss this season), currently claims she has no contact with her father’s family, ever since the death of her mother Manjula Vijaykumar, a prolific star of yesteryear South Indian cinema.

It is clear that Vanitha is struggling with the lack of communication. In a recent interview, Vanitha says if her family harbors any anger towards her, she’d rather ‘be scolded or beaten’ than be ‘hurt by the silence’. She expressed further disappointment in a string of strongly worded tweets directed towards a recent picture taken of the Vijaykumar family, where Vijakumar can be seen surrounded by his other children all wearing T shirts with the caption ‘My dad is my hero’.

She put up a series of tweets post the interview. Here’s what she had to say:

 

Be man enough to stand up and sort out the indifferences. You have fans be an inspiration to them, don’t set a bad example. Let bygones be bygones. No one is perfect, we all have messed up.finally only thing that matters is we are independent strong people who love our kids.

Imagine I took away your son and your home and made the police harass u and your family and threw you on the streets taking away all your belongings and made u go through mental torture and made our father and other family against u for no fault of yours. You guys put me through

Though Vanitha seems to be in a better place following her successful custody battle over her daughter and a successful guest appearance on Vijay TV’s Cooking with Comali, it is obvious that this issue has been affecting her for very long and she wants some closure on this matter.

Here’s to hoping the family finds a solution!
