A mistaken identity of a Malayalam actress in a prostritution case forced her to threaten with committing suicide if the circulation of wrong news is not stopped immediately.

As the reports about a Malayalam television actress by name Amala allegedly arrested in a prostitution case in Thodupuzha in October were making the rounds online, people had mistaken her for Amala Rose Kurien.

Without confirming from any authentic sources, many had claimed it was actress Amala Rose Kurian, who has acted in the Malayalam serials Sthreedhanam and Paadasaram and also some movies. Finally, the actress came out with requesting people stop the misleading news. She clarified that Amala who was arrested was a different person who also acted in some TV serials.

"Has Amala Rose Kurian committed suicide? Dear friends, is this the question all are awaiting to hear? I am a simple girl from a middle class family and my passion to act is the reason why I am still in the industry. Its been a week since I haven't properly slept and I am scared to attend to phone calls of my friends and family members [translated from Malayalam]," Amala writes on her Facebook page.

"Recently, a girl named Amala was arrested for immoral traffic from Thodupuzha and many misunderstood me to be that person. Now, I cannot even open my Whatsapp or Messenger as many harass me by sending abusive messages though there are few people who are supporting me."

"Even the ones who committed the mistake deserve justice that the society and law are supposed to give. Still I am tortured for a mistake I have not committed. I just want to ask a question to all people who are attacking me without realising the truth behind the incident: 'Would you do the same if it had happened to your sister? Or would you find the truth behind it? So I request all the social media users not to crucify me based on some fake news. I also wish to live here peacefully (translated from Malayalam)," the actress posted on her Facebook page.
