The other day, actress Ahana came to the stage against what Bigg Boss star Riaz Salim said about actor Krishna Kumar’s younger daughters. Now, Riaz has come to respond to the issue again. ‘Even in this era, glorifying caste and untouchability and putting it as a YouTube content is completely offensive. It is surprising that many people do not understand this. To such people, if you can’t empathize with other people’s pain then you are creating content just for money and fame and you have no responsibility towards society.
Where I grew up, there are people who speak openly about their caste. I have had classmates who were ridiculed for studying in reservations because of caste. I can’t really comment on this one because I don’t have that much in-depth knowledge on the subject. I shared another post, Krishnakumar’s post with Israel. People say it’s political. Some policies must be questioned if they are to be questioned. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people and children are being killed in Gaza. When he declares his support for Israel on behalf of the country, and his influencer daughter makes it a story, all I can say is WOW. How can you live in peace after killing so many people?
Another thing is related to my misunderstanding of what was said in a video of Krishnakumar’s younger daughters. I misheard what I heard in this video and wrote the story that the boy was homophobic. But as soon as I realized it, I deleted the story. But now Ahana Krishna says I am dragging my 18 year old sister for publicity. I understand that this is due to my criticism of their father’s comments on casteism. All I want to say is that you should stop using the name of an 18 year old girl to whitewash your family’s wrong politics, casteism and misinformation sharing. To those who romanticize casteism so much, dig a hole in your yard, come and drink pazankanji and leave.
