Actress Shivani Narayanan, who shot to fame after her participation in the Tamil television reality show Bigg Boss, has now pointed out to the leaders of the Tamil film industry that celebrating the "super hit" status of others while regional actresses were being consistently bypassed for leading roles was a quiet, yet powerful form of systematic suppression.

The actress, in a note which she shared on her Instagram stories section, appealed to both the leaders of the film industry and the audiences to ensure that the daughters of this soil were also given the chance to live and grow.
