As Priyamani turns 40, here are a few times when the actress' statement received applause!

The National Award-winning actress, Priyamani, is celebrating her birthday today, June 4. The actress is celebrated nationwide, and as she turns 40, here are some times when her bold statements and actions made headlines, created a change, and went close to a revolution in the film industry!

Priyamani tied the knot with Mustafa Raj, a businessman, in 2017. The actress faced a legal challenge when a woman named Ayesha claimed she was still legally married to Mustafa. The actress' personal life made headlines, and she later clarified that it was not true.

Priya Mani, though she won the National Award for Best Actress, did not get consecutive films that were successful. But, following the trend, the actress stepped into the OTT mode of communication with the audience through web series. Her successful stint in the series 'Family Man' marked her comeback.

Priyamani's acting was criticized for being stereotypical, but the actress raised her voice against nepotism and typecasting, which has advocated more diverse opportunities for her.

Actress Priyamani stood at the forefront to fight against the pay disparity between men and women in the film industry. She asked for equal pay for equal work. These incidents have solidified her reputation as a talented and dedicated actress.

Priyamani has consistently supported women's empowerment and gender equality. She has spoken about the importance of women being financially independent and making their own choices in life.
