Yuvarani has been awarded RM 70,000 by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur over two defamatory articles published in a local Tamil magazine 12 years ago in April and August 1998.

Yuvarani who is married to a Malaysian businessman from Klang, filed the defamation suit in 2003, claiming the said articles had defamed her. She alleged that the materials published were false and done with malicious intent.

The magazine in defense said the articles had been widely published in Tamil Nadu but failed to name newspapers or magazines in India which had allegedly carried the articles about Yuvarani,

A relieved Yuvarani expressed her satisfaction over the ruling and said that court's decision has proved her impeccable honesty and integrity and hoped Malaysians would continue to shower their love upon her. Yuvarani is a household name in Malaysia because of her Tamil television serials beaming from India like Chithi and others.
