A series of viral videos featuring veteran television and film actress Sudha Chandran in what appears to be a deeply emotional and trance-like state during a devotional gathering has sparked intense discussion and concern online.
The clips, widely shared on social media platforms, show the Naagin star was visibly overwhelmed with emotion at a Mata Ki Chowki she was attending. Several attendees are seen attempting to calm and restrain her as her reactions become increasingly intense.
What the Footage Shows
According to eyewitnesses and trending video footage, she is in a traditional red and white saree with a headband reading “Jai Mata Di”, indicating the religious context of the event. As bhajans and devotional prayers grow louder, she appears to enter a trance-like, emotionally charged state, moving erratically and at times unresponsive to surrounding prompts. In several clips, she is held and supported by others present, and in one notable moment, she attempts to bite a person who tries to assist her.
Videos show moments of devotional dancing, tears, and intense immersion in the spiritual environment, suggesting that she was emotionally and spiritually affected by the proceedings.
Mixed Reactions Online
The viral clip has drawn mixed reactions from social media users and viewers. Some fans have expressed alarm or confusion, calling for sensitivity and judging the incident. Others have offered empathic explanations, knowing Chandran’s longstanding spiritual devotion and suggesting the reaction reflects a deep emotional situation. A section of viewers debated whether the moment should be considered an intense spiritual trance, with cultural and religious beliefs, or rather her mental health.
Who is Sudha Chandran
Sudha Chandran is widely respected in the entertainment industry not only for her memorable roles in shows such as Naagin, Yeh Hain Mohabbatein, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, but also for her inspiring personal journey as a trained classical dancer who continued her artistic career after losing a leg in a childhood accident.
As the viral video continues to circulate, conversations around devotional experiences, personal well-being, and the impact of religious events remain at the forefront of online reactions. No official statement from Sudha Chandran or her family has been released yet.
