Jayaram says he can’t blame people
Jayaram addressed the issue in an interview with Vanitha, where he admitted that he had made a mistake and explained that as time passed, he struggled to recall the exact sequence of events.“I can’t blame the people. What I said was wrong,” he said. The incident happened 15 to 20 years ago. To be honest, I can’t even remember it clearly now. To be honest, I don’t remember if I’ve ever been to Madras or anywhere else. I even asked people involved in that incident and they didn’t remember it either. I was there for about five or six days. It happened 15 to 20 years ago. Perhaps these memory declines occur with age.“
clarify his relationship with tamil nadu
Jayaram also opened up about his close ties with Tamil Nadu. The actor explained that his family background naturally connects him to Kerala and Tamil Nadu.He said, “My father is from Palakkad and my mother is from Kumbakonam. My father got a job in Perubhavor so our family moved there. My grandfather was also from Perubhavor. I was born, brought up and educated there. But since my mother was not fluent in Malayalam, I always spoke to her in Tamil. Even now, I have many relatives there. I go to our family temple once a year. I made nothing up. “
Lived in Chennai for more than 30 years
Jayaram also noted that his career eventually led him to settle in Chennai, where he lived for many years. According to the actor, the experience naturally became an important part of his identity.He explains, “I have been living in Madras (Chennai) for the past 32 years. I moved there for work and settled there. That’s why I became a resident of Chennai. Our house in Perumbavoor is still there. But if someone asks me if I am from here or there, what should I say? There are many people from Kerala who have been working in Delhi, Mumbai or Dubai for many years. If someone has been working in Delhi for decades.On the work front, Jayaram’s latest film is Parimala and Co.
