Tamil filmdom supports Trisha over Jallikattu row
Chennai,
Jan 14
Tamil actors such as Kamal Haasan, Arvind Swami and Radikaa Sarath Kumar have
extended their support to actress Trisha Krishnan, who faced the heat of angry
protesters for endorsing animal rights groups PETA's stand against Jallikattu.
The actress has been long associated with People for Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA), which is aggressively campaigning against Jallikattu,
and also wants people supporting it to be held for contempt of court.
On Friday, angry protesters held up the shooting of Trisha's
upcoming Tamil film 'Garjanai' in Sivaganga district and demanded
her to come out of the vanity van where she took refuge.
Trisha, on Saturday, clarified she never spoke against the
ancient and popular bull-taming sport.
Despite clarifying her stand, the 33-year-old came under fire
on social media.
Her colleagues were quick to come to her rescue.
Kamal Haasan, who has worked with Trisha in films such as 'Manmadhan
Ambu' and 'Thoongaavanam', tweeted: 'Please stop hurting
Trisha. My support is always for decency. Let individuals be. Don't weaken our
case by slandering. Leave small people alone, fight decision makers.'
'Roja' fame Arvind Swami, who is currently working
with Trisha in Tamil crime thriller 'Sathuranga Vettai 2', requested
people to not bully her for expressing her opinion.
'This is the cornerstone of our democracy and you are
here by choice. You may choose to disagree, but be respectful when you express
the difference of opinion. What happened to Trisha is not ok,' Arvind wrote.
Radikaa tweeted: 'Each person is entitled to their beliefs,
but disrespecting and not knowing to have a dialogue shows ignorance and cowardice.
Take care, Trisha.'
Following the incessant trolling on social media, Trisha has
deactivated her Twitter account.
