My duty to speak up for people whenever it is necessary: Actor Prakash Rai
Bengaluru: Multilingual film actor Prakash Rai spoke in Kalaburagi on Sunday, emphasizing that he voices his concerns on behalf of the people when he deems it necessary, attributing his success in the film industry to the love of his fans.
During an interactive session and a performance of the play 'Gaayagalu' (Wounds) at the SM Pandit Rangamandira in the city, the actor addressed the media representatives. He stated, "I work in the interest of the people, devoid of any political bias. My career has flourished not just because of my talent but also due to the love and support of the people. Hence, I consider it my responsibility to advocate for the people."
Prakash Rai clarified that he does not hold any animosity towards any religion and believes it is unfair to label someone as anti-Hindu. He commented on a statement made by Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, saying, "Udhayanidhi Stalin's statement has been misconstrued. He questioned the need to eradicate untouchability in our society. What is objectionable about his statement? Those who are fostering communal hatred in society have no constructive alternatives to divert their efforts into."
The actor emphasized that religion and belief are matters of individual freedom and choice. He expressed the need for a harmonious society where everyone coexists peacefully, citing historical figures like Basavanna and Dr. BR Ambedkar as examples to follow in addressing social issues.
