At a deeply emotional audio launch in 2015, actor Silambarasan TR, popularly known as Simbu, candidly opened up about one of the most challenging phases of his life. He spoke about a period marked by personal heartbreak and professional setbacks, revealing that he had faced severe financial losses, the collapse of a significant relationship, and a downturn in his career.

Reflecting on that time, Simbu admitted that for nearly two years, he felt as though everything he valued had slipped away. He acknowledged losing his savings and struggling financially to the extent that he had to seek support from his mother,  a moment he described as a turning point in his life.

The actor also publicly addressed the end of his relationship with actress Hansika Motwani, stating that he had invested deeply in the relationship, as reported by The Times of India. The emotional toll of these experiences, coupled with professional uncertainty, pushed him to reassess his priorities and lifestyle.

Determined to rebuild, Simbu underwent a significant personal transformation. He adopted a vegetarian lifestyle, lost over 30 kilograms, and redirected his focus entirely towards his craft. This period of self-discipline and renewal eventually paved the way for his comeback, with films such as Eeswaran and Maanaadu marking his strong return to the industry following the pandemic.
