Now, it is believed that she has embraced Christianity and has decided to become a preacher. Last Sunday, the actress participated in evangelist Mohan C Lazarus meeting which was specially conducted for the film industry. Many film personalities including director Prabhu Solomon, actors Chinni Jayanth and Junior Balaiah attended the function. According to an actor who was present on the occasion, the actress was emotionally charged and spoke well for more than an hour.
In fact she surprised everyone when she substantiated her speech with quotes from the Bible, added the actor. Reportedly the actress said in her speech that her stint in politics led to depression and she even went to the extent of attempting suicide. At that time, she had the chance to read Bible, which brought about a change in her. Now she wants to preach the Bible and spread peace everywhere.
