Kannada actor Anusha Rai admits Darshan has anger points however defends him too: ‘He’s been accused, not convicted’

Talking to Hindustan Instances completely, Kannada actor Anusha Rai said that she simply couldn’t imagine that Darshan was concerned within the Renukaswamy case. “I’ve been a fan of Darshan’s since I used to be a child and have met him quite a few occasions. He’s very candy and sort. He advised me that he serves his followers meals solely every year on his birthday however they’re those who feed him 365 days a yr and it was due to them he was dwelling a very good life. One other factor he advised me was that he had advised his followers to not tattoo his identify however their mother and father – have you learnt Darshan has received a tattoo on his chest that claims Nanna Celebrities as a result of he calls his followers celebrities? He has advised his followers that don’t comply with me within the automobiles and bikes on the highway as a result of I’ll be travelling at excessive pace and your loved ones wants you. He didn’t need something taking place to them. How can such a caring individual be concerned in a criminal offense like this? He’s nonetheless an accused – not a convicted felony. So as a substitute of speaking all this BS about him, await the regulation to take its course,” mentioned Anusha.

What about his household?

The Damayanthi actor was upset with individuals cursing Darshan’s spouse Vijayalakshmi and his 15-year-old son as a result of she felt it wasn’t proper to harm them. “Individuals are cursing Darshan’s household and somebody had written (on social media) that Darshan’s son ought to meet the identical destiny as Renukaswamy. Darshan’s spouse’s identify is Vijayalakshmi and for 22 years she has been by his aspect – Vijaya means success and Lakshmi means cash. His son is simply 15 years outdated and he wouldn’t even understand how large a celebrity his father is and what’s going on now. They must be left in peace.”

As for Darshan’s relationship with Pavithra Gowda, Anusha advised HT that she wasn’t conscious of the character of their relationships and solely his shut circle of mates would know. When requested about Darshan and his anger points, which the Kannada movie business is conscious of, Anusha replied, “Sure, he has anger points however he’s additionally very humble and good. He doesn’t get indignant about all the pieces and individuals who speak to him, speak to him rigorously. Once I converse to him, I preserve inside my limits. Darshan has additionally admitted overtly that he has anger points in his interviews.”

Misunderstood?

Darshan’s derogatory remark about ladies in February 2024 throughout a speech in Srirangapatna, the place he said, ‘Ivathu ivalu irthale, naale avalu barthale’ (Right this moment it’s her, tomorrow it’s one other), noticed him get into yet one more controversy. Ask Anusha about his perspective in the direction of ladies and he or she replied, “His feedback had been misunderstood, I believe. His spouse Vijayalakshmi had posted a photograph of the household on social media after which Pavithra Gowda posted a photograph with Darshan on the identical day and that created a problem. I don’t assume Darshan was referring to all ladies – he gave the impression to be referring to his spouse and Pavithra. He mentioned on the finish of the day he has to present his 100 per cent to movies and never ladies. He has put in 25 years of onerous work developing from scratch and has constructed an empire right now. After Dr Rajkumar sit, there can be one solely celebrity who’s known as Darshan. I do not assume he could make these foolish errors (Renukaswamy case). He’s a really candy, caring and humble individual – he treats all people nicely. I do not know, possibly his time is dangerous now. I do not understand how this has occurred and in case Darshan has carried out this, then regulation will take its course.”
