Kiccha Sudeep declines Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actor
Bengaluru: Actor Kiccha Sudeep has declined the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Actor, which was announced for his performance in the film 'Pailwaan'.
Sudeep expressed his gratitude to the jury and the state government for recognizing his work, but revealed that he had made a personal decision several years ago to stop accepting awards.
In a post on X, Sudeep explained, "I have chosen to stop receiving awards for various personal reasons... There are many deserving actors who have poured their hearts into their craft and would appreciate this prestigious recognition far more than I would."
Sudeep emphasized that his dedication to entertaining people has always been driven by passion, rather than the expectation of awards. He thanked the jury for selecting him, stating that the recognition itself was reward enough.
The actor apologized for any disappointment his decision may cause and expressed his hope that the jury and the state government would respect his choice.
