Tharshan became a household name after participating in the third season of Bigg Boss Tamil. He was touted to become the winner but lost out towards the last stages of the competition but he won over a lot of fans' hearts during his stint inside the Bigg Boss house. It became widely known that actress Sanam Shetty and Tharshan were in a relationship and the duo was spotted together at many places and public events after Bigg Boss ended. A couple of days back, a huge controversy broke out when Sanam Shetty accused Tharshan of being indifferent towards her and cheating her after getting engaged to her.

Sanam also revealed that she had spent money close to the tune of Rs. 15 Lakhs for Tharshan and his career and that now after his participation in the Bigg Boss show, he had changed completely and was avoiding her. She went on to release photos of the two of them getting engaged and stated that he was now avoiding her and refused to marry her. Sanam also went on to file a Police complaint, accusing Tharshan of cheating her. After Tharshan's stint inside the Bigg Boss house there were speculations of him getting into a relationship with fellow inmate Sherin Shringar. Following these public reports and Police complaint by Sanam Shetty, Tharshan addressed the media and revealed that it was actually Sanam Shetty who had changed a lot and that he was no longer in a relationship with her.

Now, amidst all the drama that has been happening in this Sanam-Tharshan controversy, a new audio clip has been going viral. This clip is of a conversation between Tharshan and Sanam Shetty, where the two are heard arguing over something Sanam had mentioned some time back. In the clip, Tharshan asks Sanam if she told him or not that she would have to sleep with people, if that would get her movie chances. To this question, Sanam agrees and questions, "Yes, I did tell you that. What is new in this? I asked you if you were ok with that but you denied me permission to do it as you didn't like it!" Now, this embarassing conversation is going viral on social media and on one hand, goes to show that the "casting couch" in the Cinema industry is still well and truly present.
