Samyuktha is preparing for the big debut of her next movie, Vaathi. In this
tamil and
telugu bilingual, directed by
venky Atluri, she is paired alongside Dhanush. In a recent interview, the actress explained why she dropped the
menon from her last name. She stated that she wishes to see
love, equality, and humanity all around us.
Samyuktha, who portrays the movie's main character, has been quite busy with promotions. She was asked why she omitted the
menon from her last name during an interview. She stated: "I had this concept a long time ago. We need a name for formal purposes when we enrol in school. Therefore, we did not think as much then. I used to wonder why folks have this "tail," as it were. When I started working as an actor, the
idea really hit me. I realised I shouldn't have it (surname) after I realised the obligation of an actor."
"Keeping a surname makes it quite contrary to what I want when I want to see equality, humanity, and
love all around," she continued. My mother also
wanted to drop my father's last name because my
parents are divorced. I
wanted to be sensitive to my mother's needs.
