Prabhas' heroine Imanvi addresses Pak origin rumours

Many on social media have described Imanvi (also referred to as Iman Esmail) as a Pakistani-origin actress. She is the heroine of Prabhas' untitled movie being made under the direction of Hanu Raghavapudi . In a strongly-worded social media post today, Imanvi has hit back at her critics. Condemning the recent terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam , she addressed the rumour about her alleged Pakistani origin. I also want to address rumors and lies that have been falsely spread about my identity and my family via fake news sources and online media in order to create division and spread hate. Firstly, nobody in my family has ever been or is currently associated with the Pakistani military in any way . This and multiple other falsehoods have been fabricated by online trolls for the sole purpose of spreading hate. What is especially disappointing is that legitimate news outlets, journalists, and those on social media failed to investigate their source material and instead have simply repeated these slanderous statements , she wrote. She described herself as a proud Indian American who speaks Hindi, Telugu, Gujarati, and English. She then wrote a bit about her upbringing in Los Angeles after her parents legally immigrated to the US when they were young. Soon after they became American citizens. Upon completing my university education in the USA, I pursued a career in the arts as an actor, choreographer, and dancer. After much work in this realm, I am incredibly grateful to receive opportunities to work in the Indian film industry. This same film industry has been a great influence in my life, and I hope to add to the incredible legacy of the trailblazers that came before me. As someone who has Indian identity and culture running deep in my blood, I hope to use this medium as a form of unity and not divisiveness, she wrote.
