“Is This The Reaction Puneeth…”: Kiccha Sudeep Condemns Slipper Being Thrown At Actor Darshan
Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeep has condemned the act of a slipper being thrown at fellow actor Darshan during an event in Karnataka.
Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeep has condemned the act of a slipper being thrown at fellow actor Darshan during an event in Karnataka. The entire incident happened when Darshan was promoting his movie 'Kranti' and it was then that an unidentified man threw a slipper at him. As soon as it happened, the video went viral on social media, and Kiccha Sudeep has now reacted, saying that the video was "disturbing" and it was not the right way to express rage.
“Our land, language and culture is all about love & respect. Every problem has a solution, and every solution has multiple ways of being solved. Each and every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, and any problem can be solved in a manner that is pleasant and calm. The video I saw was very disturbing. There were many others and the leading lady of the film standing there as well who were just a part of the event and had nothing to do with the rage that was prevailing at that time. Humiliating them publicly brings about questions as to are we Kannadigas known for these unjustified reactions. Is this kind of outburst even an option," Sudeep wrote in a lengthy statement on Twitter.
Rebellion isn't always an Answer.

In his note, Sudeep also hinted towards the tiff between Darshan and fans of late actor Puneeth Rajkumar, saying: "As far as Darshan is concerned, I agree there may have been a situation that isn’t so pleasant between him and Puneeth fans. But is this the reaction Puneeth himself would have appreciated and supported? An answer to this is something that probably each of his beloved fans knows. One silly act from one individual in the crowd shouldn’t damage the whole system called love, dignity and respect that Puneeth fans are known for.”
“Darshan has contributed a lot to this industry and our language. The differences between us isn’t something that will stop me from speaking about what I truly feel. He surely didn’t deserve this kind of treatment and it disturbed me as well," added the 'Vikrant Rona' actor.
Actor Darshan has been surrounded by controversy off late and earlier, a phone conversation had gone viral in which the actor can be seen bad-mouthing the media for putting his life under scrutiny.
Following this incident, many regional news channels did not attend Darshan's event where he came to promote 'Kranti'.
“Kannada industry and the people of our land are known for good reasons for which Kannada and Karnataka are respected across all states. We shouldn’t be spreading this kind of message. Rebelling like this isn’t an answer or a reaction towards any situation. Forgive me if at all I spoke more than what I should have. Having travelled 27 years in this fraternity I have realised one thing for sure. Nothing and no one is forever. Let’s spread love, and respect and get the same in return from all. That’s the only way one can win over anyone and any situation," Sudeep wrote.
