Nayanthara Faces Backlash for Hibiscus Tea Health Claims
Senior star heroine Nayanthara recently encountered criticism for her social media post promoting the health benefits of hibiscus tea. In her now-deleted post, Nayanthara had endorsed the tea for its purported benefits against diabetes, high cholesterol, and acne, attributing the information to her nutritionist, Munmun Ganeriwal. She described hibiscus tea as her preferred beverage and encouraged her followers to try it.
The backlash began when Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, also known as “The Liver Doc,” criticized the actress’s claims. Dr. Philips argued that the health benefits Nayanthara mentioned were not scientifically validated and accused her of spreading misinformation. He suggested that the post appeared more as an advertisement for her nutritionist rather than a credible health recommendation.
In response to the criticism, Nayanthara promptly deleted the post. Following this, she shared a cryptic message on social media, suggesting she would avoid engaging in arguments with those she deemed “stupid.” This response has led to speculation about whether she is reluctant to admit her error or if she simply prefers to avoid further controversy.
