Nayanthara has been under the scanner after she shared the health benefits of hibiscus tea. She claimed that the tea has the capacity to help in curing ailments including diabetes, acne, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart-related ailments. Her post was criticised by healthcare professional Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, popularly known as The Liver Doc as he wrote, “This is cinema actress Nayantara who has more than twice the following of the other actress Samantha miselading her 8.7 million followers on a supplement called hibiscus tea. 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 in diabetes, high blood pressure, acne, antibacterial and protects against the flu. Well, none of the above claims have been proven.”

Now, Nayanthara responded to the ongoing trolls and shared her healthcare expert Munmun Ganeriwal's post and said, “Whoever needs an explanation, please go through this post.” Ganeriwal wrote in her post, “My reach may not be as big as his, but I request all those who have benefited from Ayurveda, natural food science, and all qualified nutritionists and doctors (Ayurveda or Western) who believe in holistic medicine/lifestyle to come out and share my post so that the truth triumphs. Not an activity that mentions a celebrity name with an interest to hog limelight.”

After the post was made by the actress, The Liver Doc called her hopeless and claimed that she has still not taking responsibility for the misguidance of the information. He also wrote, “Ok, so after the actress Nayantara indirectly "abused" me and silently deleted her post on hibiscus tea benefits, her "celebrity nutritionist" Ms. Munmum Ganeriwal, whom I called a "quack" has responded strongly against me...proving that she is indeed a "quack.”
