Fortunately, that was the time when someone found out Udayathara and she was immediately taken away to Tamil. She however made it very clear that she has no intention whatsoever of competing with Nayantara and is doing fairly well enough on her own.

Trouble is- when she arrived, there were rumors that she was romantically involved with a director. Udayathara denied it. The director refused too. but his family became worried that he was getting his name tarnished with such controversies and therefore, they have now made arrangements to get him married away to one of his relatives.

The marriage will take place soon. Udayathara is happy too because she wouldn't have to deal with the rumors any more.
