Darshan opens up about the attack
After the incident involving a slipper attack on the Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, the Kranti actor has finally responded and thanked his Sandalwood colleagues including Kichcha Sudeep for supporting him.
Taking to his social media handle, the Yajamana actor wrote – ‘I realize that my celebrities (fans) are more hurt than me at this point. Such events make a person stronger and not weaker. We have seen similar examples in our own motherland. Thank you to all the friends and actors in the film industry who stood behind me. 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, there will be millions who want to rejoice it. This slave is forever indebted to your loving embrace,” he adds.
