Divya Gopikumar shines after bold 'Thug Life' scene

Abhirami, also known as Divya Gopikumar, is back in the spotlight following the release of the ‘Thug Life’ trailer. A bold scene with veteran actor Kamal Haasan has sparked widespread online discussion, bringing renewed attention to her career. The film is set to release on June 5, 2025.

Divya began her acting journey under her birth name but later adopted the screen name Abhirami, inspired by a character she admired. She started with small roles in Malayalam films like ‘Pathram’ before moving to Tamil cinema with her debut in ‘Vaanavil’ (2000). Her powerful performances in movies such as ‘Virumaandi’ alongside Kamal Haasan helped establish her as a talented actress.

Over time, Abhirami worked in multiple languages, including Telugu and Kannada, taking on diverse roles that showcased her versatility. Recently, she appeared in films like ‘Maara’, ‘Vettaiyan’, ‘Jolly O Gymkhana’, and ‘Once Upon A Time in Madras’ in 2024. Outside of acting, she enjoys a happy personal life with her husband Rahul Pavanan and their adopted daughter, Kalki.

The ‘Thug Life’ trailer created buzz because of a close, intimate scene between Abhirami and Kamal Haasan, which surprised many due to their significant age difference. While opinions vary, the moment has certainly brought Abhirami back into public conversation as fans eagerly await the film’s release next month.
