Angry Jiiva scolds fan for repeatedly touching him moments after road accident. Watch

The couple sustained no injuries. However, their car was severely damaged. The accident occurred around 3 pm on Wednesday on a highway near Kanimayoor village. Jiiva’s car reportedly hit a meridian, when he tried to avoid crashing into a two-wheeler crossing the road. After the incident, the couple was transported to Chennai in an alternative car.

The actor was recently in the news for his comment on Justice K Hema Committee report. During a private event in Tamil Nadu’s Theni, the actor was asked about veteran actress Radhika Sarathkumar’s recent revelation regarding hidden cameras on Malayalam film sets, to which Jiiva had said, “I heard about it too. It’s wrong.” He further claimed, “All these things don’t exist in Tamil film industry, they are limited to Kerala.”

When asked about Hema Committee report, the actor responded, “We had MeToo part 1 and now part 2 has come. People are openly naming them (abusers). It’s wrong. We should have a healthy atmosphere in cinema.” Jiiva’s comment didn’t go down well with many, including singer Chinmayi Sripada, who criticised him for saying that “sexual harassment don’t exist in Tamil cinema”.

Jiiva was last seen in the Tamil film Yaatra 2.
