Oops! Those pics don't belong to Nivetha

Nivetha Pethuraj has been known through films like 'Mental Madhilo' as a go-to actress for playing the girl-next-door type of roles. She is known for her traditional looks and is seen as girl-next-door. So, when she allegedly turned hot for a photo shoot, many were surprised. 

But it turns out that the so-called sexy transformation of Nivetha is fake.

A model named Varshini Pakal has been mistaken for Nivetha. Incidentally, they both look somewhat similar! A little probing reveals that photographer Prashun Prashanth, who captured Varshini in a two-piece attire, was clear about who the girl in the pics is. However, many on social media have been misled to believe otherwise.

Nivetha looks forward to the release of Jayam Ravi starrer 'Tik Tik Tik'. The Telugu version's date has not been announced yet.
