In a recent podcast interview with Nikhil Vijayendra Simha, actress Niharika Konidela opened up about the pain she experienced following her divorce from Chaitanya JV in 2023. Niharika, known for being part of the Mega family and the sister of actor Varun Tej, shared her journey post-divorce, emphasizing the importance of self-focus and family support.
During the podcast, Niharika expressed, “I am at a stage in life where I want to focus on myself. I also want to be there for my parents. You can’t be dependent on the wrong person. I’ve been divorced for almost two years now, only I know how much it hurt me.” She further shared gratitude for her father, Nagababu, who supported her and stated that she deserves to be happy.
However, what drew attention was the response from Chaitanya JV on the Instagram video of the podcast. Chaitanya addressed the host, Nikhil, in a lengthy comment but did not directly respond to Niharika. He appreciated Nikhil’s efforts in combating negativity surrounding Niharika but cautioned against indirectly attaching labels of victimhood to the marriage.
Chaitanya’s comment read, “Hi Nikhil, I truly appreciate the effort you have made in trying to ward away the unfair negativity on Niharika that is going on lately. I know it is not easy to face it in tandem with dealing with a personal crisis.” He continued by expressing that discussing pain and healing post-divorce is acceptable, but he stressed the importance of not interfering with the healing process by discussing only one side of the story.
Chaitanya urged transparency in understanding the complete picture and advised against using indirect messaging on public platforms to convey a singular perspective. He emphasized the need for all involved parties to be part of any discussion involving the timeline of events.
In conclusion, Chaitanya acknowledged the complexity of judging people without knowing the full context and hoped that his perspective would be comprehended, expressing gratitude for the consideration. On a separate note, Niharika’s recent work includes her appearance in the 2023 OTT series ‘Dead Pixels.’
