Also known as Divya Spandana, the 33-year-old actor recently refuted  Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar's statement that "going to Pakistan is like going to hell".

 " Parrikar’s comments are not true... Pakistan is not hell. People there are just like us. They treated us very well," she said at a rally at Mandya referring to her recent visit to Pakistan.


"I will not apologise as I have done nothing wrong. I am entitled to my views and that is what democracy is about," Ramya said today, adding: "It's funny that people get away with murder charges and polarisation in this country," NDTV quoted Ramya as saying on Tuesday.


Ramya had visited Islamabad for a meeting of young parliamentarians from SAARC.

A Congress member, the actor has also been reportedly trolled on twitter for her comments.

According to media reports, she  has also been flayed by Jaggesh, another Kannada actor-cum-politician.

A member of the Bharaitya Janata Party, Jaggesh has said,   "People who have not studied and don't have any experience are praising Pakistan. They should be given a peace prize, maybe a Nobel. They should also be allowed to stand next to Bill Clinton and take photos."

Advocate K. Vittal Gowda filed a private complaint under Section 200 of Cr.Pc in the first JMFC court on Monday, accusing Ramya of “insulting India” and “provoking the people of India” by “appreciating Pakistan, which is a traditional enemy of India.”
