As an ardent fan who has followed Kasthuri Shankar’s career since her early days in Tamil cinema, I must admit that this recent turn of events has left me quite bewildered. The actress who once brought life to the characters she portrayed with her captivating performances is now embroiled in a controversy that seems to overshadow her talent.
Since Kasthuri Shankar’s contentious comments regarding the Telugu-speaking community in Tamil Nadu, she has been a topic of discussion everywhere. The actress was detained by the police on Saturday and presented in court the following day. After careful deliberation, the court chose to keep her in judicial custody until November 29th.
As an ardent fan, I’ve just learned that my beloved actress, Kasthuri, found herself in a troublesome situation. A team from Chennai police apprehended her in Hyderabad, following the dismissal of her bail petition by the Madras High Court. Although she withdrew her controversial statements and tendered an apology on her social media platform, her actions had already prompted legal complaints against her, leading to this unfortunate turn of events.
A group of individuals from Chennai traced her down to a house in Hyderabad where they carried out an arrest. Afterward, she was transported back to Chennai and appeared before a judge at the Egmore court. According to the news article, she is now detained at the Puzhal Central Jail.
For those unaware, the actress caused a stir at an event in Tamil Nadu with her statements. She claimed that Telugu people are descended from ancient courtesans who served rulers, which sparked numerous legal issues against Kasthuri throughout the state. The authorities promptly addressed these concerns by sending her formal legal warnings.
Despite going into seclusion, turning off my phone to dodge capture, I was unfortunately apprehended by the authorities and transported to their custody.
Previously, Kasthuri had offered a public apology for her contentious statements. Her message stated, “In the past two days, I have faced numerous threats and criticisms. These incidents have strengthened my determination. Yet, today, a highly respected Telugu individual gently clarified to me the impact of my word choice on the entire Tamil Nadu Telugu community and beyond.
She stated clearly that she didn’t mean to cause harm to anyone, and expressed regret for unintentionally offending the Telugu-speaking community.
Take a look at her full note below:
