Controversies

• She made a huge controversy while she was in the ‘Bigg Boss Kannada 7’ house in 2019, where she used the word ‘Untouchables’ for her co-contestant Deepika Das. She received huge criticism from the public and Ambedkar Sena (working for the welfare of the scheduled caste community). Later, she apologised saying that her intention was not to hurt any community.

• On 8 April 2021, she attempted to commit suicide by drinking Phenyl liquid at her home in Kolar, Karnataka at 5 am. On investigating the whole matter, the local police found that Chaithra’s husband’s (Nagarjuna) parents were against their marriage and ended their marriage on the same day they got married.

Nagarjuna said that he did not want to marry Chaithra, and he was forced by Chaithra to marry her. On the other hand, Chaitra said,

They assaulted my brothers, manhandled and Injured my aged parents. They humiliated our family in front of the public. When I went to complain to the police station his brothers-in-law came and requested me to give them two days time so that they would later sit and discuss with families. I agreed, but they betrayed me by lodging a complaint against the police without my knowledge breaking their assurance. This double game made me depressed.”

She made a video accusing her husband of hurting her before she tried to attempt suicide.
