What Did Udhayanidhi Stalin Do?
On 21 October 2025, Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin faced widespread social media scrutiny after reposting photos from actress Nivaa’s Instagram account and subsequently deleting them amid criticism.
The incident sparked memes and critiques questioning the minister’s priorities, particularly at a time when the state gears up for the north-east monsoon. While DMK supporters defended the reposts as an attempt to humanize his public image, him resharing photos of actresses has become a political controversy with members of TVK, AIADMK and BJP slamming Udhayanidhi Stalin.
