Controversies	• Attacked by Naresh Babu’s ex-wife, Ramya Raghupathi In July 2022, Naresh was attacked by his ex-wife, Ramya Raghupathi, at a hotel in Mysore, where he was accompanied by his girlfriend, Pavitra Lokesh. As soon as Ramya reached the hotel and noticed Naresh with Pavitra, she tried to hit them with her slippers following which Naresh and Pavitra were provided with police protection. ^[6]TFPC – YouTube While addressing the media reporters, Naresh claimed that Ramya, along with her rumoured boyfriend Rakesh Reddy, was trying to blackmail him after he sent Ramya a divorce notice. In an interview, Pavitra denied the rumours of her relationship with Naresh and addressed Ramya’s accusations as baseless and said, I am not new to Telugu people or the industry. I needn’t explain my relationship with Naresh. To defame me out of her interests is something very upsetting. I felt like why this is happening to me. She is making me the victim and this is not correct. She should settle scores within the family.” While addressing the reporters, Ramya expressed her resentment on discovering her husband with Pavitra at a hotel and said, They claimed that they are best friends but stayed together in a single room all night. I am here raising concern over my son’s future and protecting his interests. I come from a proper Hindu family and I don’t like to get separated from my husband.” • Registered complaint against stalkers Pavitra, in July 2022, registered a complaint with the Cyber Crime, Economic Offences, and Narcotics (CEN) Police Station against a few media house representatives, who stalked and followed her to V.V.

Meenakshamma made her appearance on Star Survana’s Kannada television show Aramane Gili in 2019.

When Pavitra was in the ninth grade, her father, Mysore Lokesh, passed away. Despite her aspirations to become an IAS officer and prepare for the Civil Services Examination (CSE), she had to put her dreams on hold due to her family’s worsening financial situation. Instead, she chose to support her mother, who was solely responsible for the family’s expenses. Despite her father’s fame in the Kannada film industry, Pavitra was hesitant to pursue a career as an actress. After completing her graduation, Pavitra attempted the Civil Services Examination (CSE) but unfortunately failed. However, when one of her father’s friends, Ambarish, an Indian actor and director, offered her a role in one of his films, Pavitra eagerly accepted.

During an interview, Pavitra shared her positive experience working with her debut director, who was a close companion of her father. He treated her well during the shoot. However, as she started working with other directors whom she wasn’t familiar with, she faced unpleasant and terrible treatment from them. Pavitra couldn’t tolerate their awful behavior, leading her to take a break from acting. Reflecting on her second film, she realized that not everyone was like her debut director and gained a true understanding of what it meant to be a star. To her disappointment, individuals who used to visit her home and share meals with her, including people she had known since childhood, suddenly stopped supporting her. This left her feeling disappointed and disenchanted, ultimately leading to her decision to take a break. However, despite the various circumstances she encountered, insults thrown at her, and poor treatment she received, it surprisingly contributed to her personal growth. As a result, she refrained from working for a period of two years.

During an interview, Pavitra expressed her admiration for Allu Arjun, stating that he is her favorite actor.

During the interview, Pavitra discussed the challenges she encountered while working in the film industry. She disclosed that her height became a hindrance, leading directors to hesitate in casting her as the lead role in films. Pavitra explained that her taller stature compared to most heroines of that time, and being nearly as tall as the heroes, made directors reluctant to consider her for leading lady roles. Despite this setback, she expressed no regrets as she believed that if she had been offered those roles, her career would have declined much earlier.
