Some months back, anchor Lakshmi Nakshathra shared a video on her YouTube channel which turned viral in no time. The video showed how the anchor turned the scent of the late Kollam Sudhi into a bottled perfume. This was gifted to Sudhi’s family and everything was filmed and posted on the YouTube channel.

It was Yusuf, a Malayali in Dubai who turned the scent into perfume. Sudhi’s wife Renu had safely kept the late actor’s shirt, which he wore during his final moments. Renu then approached Laskhmi with a request to turn the scent into perfume. Soon, Lakshmi chanced upon a visit to Dubai and the anchor fulfilled the wish of Sudhi’s widow.

However, it was a different story after the video was uploaded on YouTube. Severe criticism came from all quarters alleging Lakshmi Nakshathra of milking money using Sudhi’s unfortunate death.

And now, actor and former Bigg Boss star Shiyas Kareem has responded to the issue.

"I saw Lakshmi's perfume video. It was only then I came to know about such deft techniques in perfume making. Later I delved into Yusuf’s social media account to know more about it. I have not seen Saju Navodaya’s interview. People are different and may do things in their way. In that aspect, Saju is different in his way while Lakshmi is in hers.

I don’t know why Lakshmi posted that video on social media. Only Lakshmi can bring clarity to that matter. From what I have learned from my holy book, it states that we should not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing. I follow that approach.”
