Hyderabad: Actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda says he is bruised and hurt. He wants everyone to rest the controversial topic behind. The incident of a scribe posing an uneasy awkward question at him stirred a controversy during the trailer launch. Topic on ‘counting of moles’ went viral for the entire day on YouTube and other social media platforms.
On Friday, he took to his Twitter handle to leave a note explaining how he felt facing the question while the audience watched him live on various social media platforms.
He wrote, “Something deeply hurt me, and I want to address that. A very demeaning question (unintentional I would like to believe) was thrown at me during the theatrical trailer launch of my new film ‘DJ Tillu’. A lot of people have asked me the reason behind the nature of my response. I simply chose to reject the question in a very calm and composed manner. I wasn’t going to lose my temper, I chose restraint. I definitely wasn’t going to dignify the question with an answer. Period.”
Siddhu said that incident spoke volumes about the impression a few have towards actors. He further continued, “Actors work really hard when they shoot intimate scenes, the hardest in fact. Especially for women, there are about a hundred people on set while they are kissing their co-star, sometimes with a technician holding a light right in their face. This takes a lot of courage. I will take the liberty of saying this on behalf of all the actors – we deserve to be respected for being that courageous and to not be spoken to in a discourteous manner. We tell stories, we entertain and we do not expect to be judged in our real lives based on what we do.”
“I genuinely request everyone to rest here, because I want my film to be promoted for the content, the laughter it is spreading and for the madness the trailer has created. For the right reasons. DJ Tillu is coming soon to a theatre near you, to entertain, make you laugh, cry and take you through a roller-coaster of emotions, See you soon,” he concluded.
