In 2018, he was criticized for making controversial remarks at the pre-release event of his film “Neevevaro.” He said that he was asked to make a controversial statement to promote the film, but he refused. This statement was seen by some as a dig at other actors who have been known to make controversial statements to generate publicity.
In 2022, he was involved in a controversy with actress Hansika Motwani. Comedian Robo Shankar revealed that there was a scene in the film “Vaanam” that required him to touch Hansika’s legs. However, she objected to the scene and reportedly didn’t allow him to touch her leg or even her toe. Robo Shankar added that she allowed Aadhi, the hero of the film, to touch her leg. This revelation led to some speculation that Aadhi may have had a romantic relationship with Hansika.
Aadhi has also been criticized for his religious beliefs. He is a Christian, and some people have accused him of trying to convert others to Christianity. He has denied these accusations, saying that he is simply a devout Christian who wants to share his faith with others.
