Madhuvanthi Arun (born 6 November 1977) is an Indian actress. She is the daughter of veteran Tamil actor Y. G. Mahendran.[1][2][3] She is also a choreographer and theater director.[4][5][6][7] As of mid-2020, she is a executive committee member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (Tamil Nadu State Unit).[8]

Personal life[edit]

Madhuvanthi was born on 6 November 1977 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu into a Tamil Brahmin family. She is the daughter of actor and playwright Y. G. Mahendra and granddaughter of veteran playwright Y. G. Parthasarathy and educationist Rajalakshmi Parthasarathy. Her relatives include filmmaker K. Balaji, actress Vyjayanthimala and producer Latha Rajinikanth.

She is on the board of trustees of the Calibre Educational Foundation.[9] In January 2009, she was one of fifteen women named “Women of the Year” in The Ritz Fashion Magazine.[10]

In 2016, she made her debut in the Tamil film industry as an actress.[citation needed] She was married to V. Arunkumar, grandson of Gemini Ganesan and Savitri but now divorced.[11][12] They have a son together.[1] As a result of sinus issues, Madhuvanti keeps her hair short.[13]

Madhuvanthi considers herself a proud to be born Brahmin.[14][15] She also believes that everyone must be proud of their castes, just as she is.[16] Madhuvanthi wishes for Tamil people to learn Hindi. She said, "If a person wanted to get Pani Puri from a vendor, one has to know Hindi to ask them. Therefore, Hindi is very necessary".[17]

Politics[edit]

Bharatiya Janata Party[edit]

Madhuvanthi was appointed as a State executive committee member of the Tamil Nadu BJP on 3 July 2020.[8]

Controversies[edit]

Madhuvanthi took a loan of 1 crore Rs in 2016 to buy her house at Hinduja Leyland Finance. She allegedly failed to pay Rs 1.21 lakh along with interest on the loan. Subsequently, the Metropolitan court ordered sealing of Madhuvanthi's house in a case filed by the financial institution. Accordingly, the financial institution officials, who accompanied Thenampet police to Madhuvanthi's house, sealed her on house 13 October 2021.[18][19][20][21]

Madhuvanthi faced online backlash on 5 April 2020, when she claimed that turning all lights off for 9 minutes on 9 pm will kill all instances of the coronavirus with double-power during Modi's "nine-minutes lighting ceremony". Many people asked to government to take action against her for spreading misinformation.[22][23]
