Priyamani has opened up about the time when she faced trolling and controversy following her marriage to Mustafa Raj. For the unversed, Mustafa’s first wife Ayesha made claims asserting the invalidity of her ex’s marriage to Priyamani, stating that they had never officially divorced. Mustafa and Ayesha had separated in 2013, and he subsequently married Priyamani in 2017.
In an interview with Galatta Plus, Priyamani said, “To be honest, it did affect me. Not only me per se but my family also, especially my father and mother. But I have to say my husband stood by me as a rock. He said, ‘Look whatever happens, I will let everything come to me first. But all I would say is hold my hand and be with me through every step.’”
She continued, “Because right at the time we were seeing each other, I faced a lot of rumours. I had told him the same thing, ‘Stand by me and trust me.’ Because we have taken the step together and decided to spend rest of our lives. So come hail, come storm, come sunshine, we will walk the path together. I am very happy that I got such an understanding and strong partner. He knows how to tackle everything.”

Priyamani said that they took care of everything and did not let things affect them. She said, “It did upset me but at that time I wasn’t in Mumbai, I was in Bangalore with my husband. We just asked them (family members) to not bother much because it’s us at the end of the day. Their blessings and prayers have taken us long way.”
The actor is currently seen in the film Maidaan opposite Ajay Devgn.
