Kannada star Darshan breaks silence on slipper attack, thanks Kiccha Sudeep

Kannada actor Darshan has finally opened up about the slipper attack he was subjected to during a promotional event of his film ‘Kranti’. He took to Twitter on Wednesday and thanked his friends and colleagues who ‘stood for justice at this time’.

‘I realize that my celebrities are hurting more than me at this point. Such events make a person stronger and not weaker. We have seen similar examples in our own Kannada land. Thank you to all the friends and actors of the film industry who stood for justice at this time. Thanks also to some who tried to steer this event down the wrong path. I have been saying since the beginning that if there are a hundred people who want to spoil it, then there will be millions of our celebrities. This slave is forever indebted to your loving embrace,’ read Darshan’s statement which was posted in Kannada

In a separate tweet, Darshan expressed his gratitude to Kiccha Sudeep who had come out in his support and penned a lengthy statement on Twitter.

Sudeep condemned the incident by calling it ‘very disturbing’.

A miscreant, who was allegedly a Puneeth Rajkumar fan, hurled a slipper at Darshan while he was addressing his fans in Hospet. The actual reason for the outrage is unknown, but Darshan’s recent comments on ‘Goddess of Luck’ during an interview sparked huge outrage. Several people called out his misogynistic views towards women.
