A big update for all fans and admirers of actor Prithviraj Sukumaran.
According to the latest media reports in NDTV Movies, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest movie “Kaduva” received a lot of criticism and hate for it’s apparently insensitive towards children with disabilities. Well, fans have been waiting a long time for the actor to come out and defend the action. However, he eventually broke his silence on the matter and publicly apologized. According to media reports, he was quoted as saying:
“We are sorry. It was a mistake. We recognize and accept it. Shaji Kailas posted an apology on his Facebook profile in Malayalam: “Apologies for the hurtful reference to the parents of children with disabilities.
He further added,
“The truth is that neither the screenwriter Jinu when writing such dialogue nor the hero Prithviraj when preparing the scene, nor did I think about any other aspect of it. The only intention behind it was to convince him and the audience of the villain’s cruelty. For ages we have heard the words that the consequences of what we do will be felt by our future generations. (Remember the Bible verse, “The fathers ate green grapes, and the children were dull. Those words that came from Prithviraj’s character in that film were also human. A very ordinary human being, oblivious to wrongdoing or its emotional implications , asks that they be seen as mere words, uttered in a momentary fit of emotion. This does not mean that children with disabilities suffer from the actions of their parents. There is never such a thing, even in our remotest thoughts.”
He concluded by saying, “I am a father who loves his children. Even if they fall a little, I get pain. Then I can understand the feelings of parents of disabled children without anyone telling me. Parents’ notes indicated that the words in the film were hurt. Please understand that the most precious thing in the world is your children and you live for them… I’m sorry…again, my apologies, knowing these words will not resolve your emotional distress.”
