After the huge internet controversy with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, The Liver Doctor has again sparked tension on the internet. The situation began to spiral out of control at one point when the actress was criticized by a real doctor who goes by the name ‘TheLiverDoc’ on X (Formerly Twitter). He accused the actor of making false claims about the benefits of hibiscus tea before they were supported by scientific evidence.
Nayanthara Acussed By The Liver Doc
The star shared the purported health advantages of hibiscus tea on social media in a since-deleted tweet, citing her healthcare expert Munmun Ganeriwal in the process. She wrote, “This has to be my favourite Tea And the most exciting one in the meal plan curated by the genius @munmun.ganeriwal. It has long been used in Ayurveda.” Nayanthara went on to write about the benefits of the tea and praise it.
Criticising this post on Instagram the doctor wrote, “This is cinema actress Nayantara who has more than twice the following of the other actress Samantha, misleading her 8.7 million followers on a supplement called hibiscus tea.” Proceeding with his remarks, he said, “If she had stopped at hibiscus tea is kind of tasty, that would have been ok. But no, they have to go ahead and blow their health-illiteracy trumpet and also claim that hibiscus tea is helpful,” the post said. He also went on to say that Nayanthara’s post appeared to be “an advertisement for her celebrity nutritionist.”
Nayanthara Deleted Her Post
Nayanthara has deleted her post from her Instagram account, but social media users shared their worry about celebrities putting out such posts. Sometime back, the Liver Doc had taken on actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s post that suggested inhaling hydrogen peroxide to prevent and treat respiratory viral infections, following which the actor had shared a clarification note explaining her side of the story.
