Ambika breaks silence on sister Radha’s police complaint over Rs 43.62 crore cheque dispute, denies MGR gifted family 25 acres of land for free: ‘I am the one who was actually cheated’ | Tamil Movie News

Actress Ambika has addressed the ongoing property and cheque dispute involving her sister Radha, saying that she believes she is the person who has been wronged in the matter. In an emotional clarification, the veteran actor questioned why a complaint had been filed against her and expressed her distress over the dispute reaching the police.Ambika’s comments come after Radha reportedly approached the Chennai Police Commissioner’s Office with a complaint naming Ambika and their brother Arjun Nair in connection with a cheque dispute allegedly involving Rs. 43.62 crore. Ambika, however, said the property matter is currently subject to legal proceedings and that she cannot disclose all the details publicly.

Ambika clarifies ownership of ARS Garden and denies claims about MGR

A significant part of Ambika’s statement concerned ARS Garden, a property she described as deeply connected to her family and her personal journey. She also rejected claims circulating on YouTube that the family had received 25 acres of land as a free gift from former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor MGR. As reported by Filmibeat, Ambika said the property was purchased with the family’s own earnings and explained why ARS Garden holds such emotional importance for her.“People on YouTube are saying that MGR gave us 25 acres of land for free. That is not true. It was a property that we bought with the money we worked hard to earn, from the Devar Films family. In particular, ARS Garden was the first property we bought. It is like my life,” she said.

Ambika gets emotional recalling ARS Garden name board being changed

Ambika also spoke about her reaction after seeing the original ARS Garden name board being removed and replaced. She said the property has a longstanding identity within the Tamil film industry, making the sight particularly difficult for her.“When I saw my ARS Garden board being removed and another board being put up, I could not bear it. Everyone in Tamil cinema knows what ARS Garden means,” Ambika said.She further clarified that the property is currently entangled in a legal dispute and therefore she is unable to discuss every aspect of the case in public.“ARS Garden is not for sale. Since there is a legal issue going on, I cannot speak openly about everything,” she added.

Ambika reflects on family bonds amid dispute with Radha

The actress also became emotional while discussing the changing nature of family relationships. Looking back at the family’s difficult years, she recalled a time when maintaining their bond was considered a priority.“When we were struggling, I was the first stepping stone for the family. At one point, we believed that if there was family and a bond, we should do anything for the family. But things are not like that now. Everyone is living separately,” she said.The ongoing dispute with her sister, she suggested, has been particularly difficult because of the family relationship involved.

‘I am actually the one who was cheated,’ says Ambika

Responding directly to Radha’s complaint, Ambika said she was unable to understand why the matter had escalated to the police. She maintained that, from her perspective, she is the person who has suffered wrongdoing.“I don’t know why Radha has given a complaint against me. Looking at this, I find it strange because I am actually the one who was cheated. I should have been the one to give the complaint. It is okay. Someone may have advised Radha, and that is why she has given the complaint,” she said.Ambika also expressed disappointment over what she sees as a growing emphasis on financial matters at the expense of family sentiment and relationships.“Thank you, sentiment and all these things have disappeared from life. Everything in this world has become about money. No matter how much money a person gets, it is never enough. The only thing people keep wanting is more money.”The property and cheque dispute remains a matter involving competing claims, and Ambika has indicated that she will not disclose details that could be affected by the ongoing legal proceedings.
