Hyderabad: Actress Dimple Hayathi, Husband Booked Following Maid’s Complaint
Hyderabad: A case has been registered against actress Dimple Hayathi and her husband at the Filmnagar Police Station after a complaint was filed by their househelp.
According to police, the complainant, a domestic worker from Odisha, alleged that she had been employed by the couple for household duties but was not paid for her services. She further accused the actress and her husband of subjecting her to harassment and attempted physical violence during her employment.
The complaint prompted Filmnagar police to formally register a case and initiate an investigation into the allegations. Authorities are looking into the claims to determine the circumstances and ensure justice for the househelp.
The incident has drawn attention not only because of the seriousness of the allegations but also because of Dimple Hayathi’s rising popularity in South Indian cinema. She has built a name for herself in both Telugu and Tamil films over the past several years.
Dimple made her acting debut in 2017 with the Telugu film Gulf, where she played the role of Lakshmi. She subsequently appeared in several notable projects, including Devi 2 (Tamil, 2019) and Abhinetri 2 (Telugu, 2019). Her performance in the popular item song “Jarra Jarra” from Gaddalakonda Ganesh (Telugu, 2019) brought her wider recognition.
Expanding her presence to Bollywood, Dimple featured in the 2021 film Atrangi Re, portraying the character Mandakini, also called “Mandy.” She has continued to take on roles in Telugu and Tamil projects, with recent appearances in Khiladi (2022) and Ramabanam (2023), demonstrating her versatility across genres.
While Dimple Hayathi’s career continues to flourish on screen, the ongoing police investigation underscores the growing scrutiny that celebrities face regarding their personal conduct, especially in cases involving domestic workers. Legal authorities are expected to examine statements from all parties, and the investigation’s outcome will determine the next steps in the case.
As the probe unfolds, both fans and the wider public are closely following developments, reflecting broader conversations in India about the rights and protections of domestic workers, and the accountability of public figures when faced with allegations of mistreatment.
