It seems that Ramya does not want to be in the eye of the storm any more. On Tuesday, the actress failed to show up for the audio release of her film, Dhandam Dhashagunam (DD), and instead chose to go furniture shopping, according to the film’s producer A. Ganesh. The producer lodged a complaint against Ramya on Wednesday at the Karnataka Film Chamber, after which she was given 48 hours to respond to the complaint and comply with Ganesh’s requests to promote the film.However, Ramya took to her microblogging account to address the issue. “I don’t wish to work anymore cos (sic) I have no strength left in me to fight. My life span only got shorter. I am taking voluntary retirement from this industry. I will start afresh, and look ahead. A new life beckons,” she tweeted on Wednesday.
Moreover, Ramya says that her not attending the audio launch of DD gave the film more publicity than the producer could have dreamed of. “Ganesh should thank me for the publicity he got cos (sic) of me not attending. Would it be the same if I did? channels for their trp... more money! and for people who don’t make movies anymore get free time on tv to talk about me,” she tweeted.
Ramya also alleges that she lent Ganesh money, which he has still not returned to her. “Mr ganesh where is my money you borrowed from me and avoided my calls for 6 months?? I still have the documents with me you signed saying you will return it in a month,” she added.
Ramya’s decision to retire has given rise to speculation as to whether she is quitting acting altogether or just Sandalwood, especially since she didn’t attend the Vishwa Kannada Sammelana last week. The buzz is that she is going to work fulltime in another southern industry, as she has been attending functions for other film industries.
