Jeeva Subramaniam, who plays a notable role in Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy, has opened up about a difficult phase in her personal life. The actress shared how things have changed after the film brought her recognition.
For years, Diwali was a lonely time for Jeeva. After leaving home because of her transgender identity, she spent several festivals by herself. She would stock up on groceries before Diwali, close her doors and stay indoors for the next four days.
This year was different. The appreciation she received for Dorothy brought birthday and festival wishes from people across the world. She also celebrated her birthday by herself in a way she had never done before, buying a cake and cutting it at home.
In her social media post, Jeeva wrote, “I went to a shop, bought a cake, cut it, and enjoyed eating it, all by myself. It might seem like a small thing, but for me, it brought immense joy!”
She also thanked director Karthik Subbaraj for trusting her with the opportunity. The response to Dorothy seems to have brought a change in her personal life too. After spending years alone during festivals, receiving wishes from people around the world has clearly meant a lot to her.
