Veteran actor and classical dancer Sudha Chandran has finally responded after a video of her appearing emotionally overwhelmed during a prayer meeting went viral across social media. The clip, which showed her in what many described as a trance-like state, quickly became a topic of intense discussion, drawing both concern and criticism online.
While several users supported her and called the moment deeply spiritual, others trolled the actor, accusing her of exaggeration. Amid the controversy, Sudha chose to speak out and firmly defend her faith and personal experience.
In her statement, Sudha said the moment was one of deep devotion and spiritual connection. She explained that she felt blessed during the prayer and did not feel embarrassed or disturbed by the video going viral. According to her, such moments of surrender and emotional release are rare and meaningful for anyone who believes in divine energy.

She further said that when she was praying, she felt an overwhelming sense of positivity and power. For her, it was not something to be mocked but cherished. She also pointed out that many people who watched the video could emotionally connect with it, which mattered far more to her than the opinions of trolls.
Responding to online criticism, Sudha made it clear that she is not answerable to anyone. She said she respects her own beliefs and spiritual connections and does not feel the need to justify them in front of people who choose to judge. According to her, those who troll are free to do so, but she will not let it affect her inner peace.
Sudha also spoke about her life journey and how she has always faced criticism. After her life-altering accident in her teenage years, many people told her she would not succeed. Despite that, she worked hard, returned to dancing and acting, and built a successful career. She said that people always have opinions, but when someone becomes a success story, the same voices change their tone.
The actor also clarified that devotion is deeply personal and should never be questioned or mocked. She said she does not judge anyone’s faith and expects the same respect in return. For her, spirituality is about connection, belief, and inner strength.
Sudha Chandran ended by saying that she is a self-made woman who lives with dignity and blessings from the divine. She will continue to follow her faith without fear or hesitation, no matter what social media says.
