The confusion and misconception leads to clash between the two. The same has happened between actress Thara and Pramila Joshai. 

Pramila Joshai was contacted by producer of a Kannada film to play an important role. She demanded Rs.1.25 lakhs as remuneration. The small budget producer said it is only six days work. Pramila persisted on her remuneration. The producer did not pay the advance and looked out for another artiste. That artiste is Thara who must have agreed for a feasible payment of the producer. On knowing Thara had accepted her offer Pramila Joshai rang up Thara and bashed at her. “You don’t pretend. You have stolen my role, you do lot of politics, your husband Venu has also stolen the job of another cameraman you always behave like as if you don’t know etc”.

Perplexed Thara politely answered the misconception. I am not your competitor I would not fit in to your role you are a senior actress told Thara but Pramila Joshai was unhappy and not ready to accept Thara’s statements. On knowing the foul mood of Pramila Joshai, actress Thara to set right the issue complained to the Artistes Association for which Pramila Joshai’s husband Sunderraj is the Secretary. Sundru on hearing the complaint from Thara asked her to come and talk to his wife so that everything would be OK.

When Thara went to the house of Pramila Joshai to sort out the confusion, to the surprise of Thara she was told that producer of the film only told me like that (Pramila Joshai role going to Thara). Thara was not ready to accept this. But the wrong mood of Pramila Joshai again uttered some allegations on Thara that is not printable. Thara was not invited to the house by Pramila Joshai and she was sent back.

Thara says firmly that Pramila Joshai is only my professional colleague not a friend
