Shruti Narayann Clarifies Mistaken Identity Amid Controversy Over Citadel: Honey Bunny Credits

Actor Shruti Narayann, known for her role in Citadel: Honey Bunny, has publicly addressed the confusion between her and Tamil actor Shruthi Narayanan. The mix-up has led to severe personal and professional consequences, following inaccurate media reports that credited the wrong actor for her role in the series.

The confusion escalated when news outlets mistakenly named Shruthi Narayanan as part of the Citadel: Honey Bunny cast. This happened around the same time Shruthi Narayanan was involved in a separate controversy related to a leaked casting couch video, leading to public misperception and online harassment directed at Shruti Narayann.

Actor’s Career Impacted by Media Misreporting

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Shruti Narayann wrote, “Due to media reports incorrectly crediting Shruthi Narayanan as an actress in Citadel: Honey Bunny, some people have mistaken me for her and are harassing me on social media. I am seriously concerned about my reputation and career due to this misattribution.”

Speaking to India Today Digital, she revealed that this case of mistaken identity has already cost her several acting opportunities. "It’s disheartening that something so trivial can have such serious consequences,” she said.

Calls for Responsibility in Media Reporting

Shruti Narayann emphasized that she has no connection to any controversy and urged people to recognize that this situation is a result of name confusion. “I want to make it clear that I have no association with any such issues,” she stated.

She also highlighted the dangers of misinformation in the digital era: “In today’s world, it takes just one click to spread false information. Unfortunately, not everyone takes the time to verify before sharing.”

A Cautionary Tale in the Age of Social Media

Shruti Narayann’s experience underscores the critical role of accurate media reporting, especially for public figures. The actress remains hopeful that public understanding will correct the narrative and that her career can move forward without further harm from the confusion.
