Kumudam Reporter, in its March issue, published an interview with actress Ranjitha. Shortly after the telecast of the video by Sun TV, the writer traced her to Thrissur, Kerala. The article details the phone conversation between the writer and Ms.Ranjitha.

Ms.Ranjitha, in her statement issued by her lawyer, categorically denied giving any interviews to media persons since the breakout of the scandal on March 2nd, 2010, and has specifically mentioned the Kumudham Reporter’s interview as fabricated.
This is a magazine that has over the years gained reputation for its authentic news and has a large following across all age groups, including the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr.Karunanidhi who stated his admiration for the magazine.
When a magazine like Kumudham publishes an interview, its cloak of respectability automatically authenticates the interview and has far reaching consequences. Freedom of Press does not justify malicious venom in the name of press freedom.
Impact of the interview:
The interview was carried by a number of online media from cine news sites such as kollywoodtoday.com, indiatimes.com, Times of India online, India’s First Citizen Journalisn News Portal, UK Tamil News, Kuwait NRI site and Star News, and other visual media had a field day with this interview amply supplemented with their innuendos.

wow, if we don't have news we just create it? i don't believe it!
Oh My god, I dont know where to begin. Knowing Ranjita's family in person is a true blessing. It boils my blood to see negative media comments. Ranjita has great character and great morals. Oh well, I am not sure, anyone who is blaspheming her would know what character or morals mean.
Everyone has to pay back for their karma, and I can only pray for people who are making negative allegations against Ranjita. Shrimad Bhagvatam describes so many ways, one has to pay for their sins. Sinners be aware. You will pay back, heavily.
I have one honest question to those reporters, dont you have a mother/sister/wife/daughter. What will you do, if someone makes such allegations against them?
My sincerest prayers and well wishes are with you Ranjita and family. May Lord Krishna protect you, the way he protected each and every one of his devotees including Deaupadi and Ahilya. Let their be peace soon. Lots of Love!
