Exclusive: Amid Kannada Language Row, Kamal Haasan's "No Apology Over Gunpoint"
Chennai: A day ahead of the pan-India release of his much-anticipated film 'Thug Life', actor and politician Kamal Haasan addressed the media but refrained from revisiting the controversy over his recent remarks about the Kannada language. The film will release across India and globally on Friday - except in Karnataka. Mr Haasan, who has been under fire for saying Kannada was born out of Tamil, earlier made it clear he has no intention to apologise or withdraw his remarks. "There can be no demand for an apology in a gunpoint situation," a person in the know of these developments told NDTV, alluding to pressure from fringe groups and political outfits. Mr Haasan told reporters he would speak at length later, as "a Tamil who wants to speak a lot." On Tuesday, he said his comments were made purely out of affection for the late Kannada actor Rajkumar and his family, and denied any malice toward Karnataka or the Kannada language. Amid strong observations from the Karnataka High Court, the actor, who approached the court seeking protection for the release of the film, later said he would not release the film in Karnataka. When asked the idea behind this, the person added, "There could be a sense of fear; audiences may avoid theatres. A Karnataka release will happen only in a conducive atmosphere." This suggested Mr Haasan is prepared to forgo revenue. Another lamented how freedom of expression often becomes the first casualty during such controversies. "Fringe groups tend to have their way threatening to trigger law and order problems. In a democracy, there should be conversations even amid disagreements," the source said. Support came from the ruling DMK, which had also backed Mr Haasan for his nomination to Rajya Sabha. KN Nehru said there was nothing wrong in what Mr Haasan commented. "Tamil is the root of south Indian languages like Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam. What he said is correct and historically factual."

Kundali Bhagya's Ashish Trivedi on marrying Rani Patel: Our courtship pictures were better than any pre-wedding photoshoot
Ashish Trivedi and Rani Patel In a time when elaborate pre-wedding shoots have become a norm, Kundali Bhagya actor Ashish Trivedi chose simplicity and intimacy. He tied the knot with Rani Patel, his girlfriend of eight years, on May 5 in a private destination wedding in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, attended by close friends and family. He says, 'The pictures we took over the years held more meaning than a pre-wedding shoot. We ended up using those cherished memories instead.' Speaking about the ceremony, he adds, 'The wedding was attended by not more than 100 people. We wanted it to be personal and heartfelt.' Ashish and Rani at their haldi ceremony Ashish was closely involved in planning every detail. He says, 'I wanted everything customised, which took time. We began preparing in February. Fortunately, my last show Kundali Bhagya ended in December, which gave me ample time to focus on the wedding. Now that our honeymoon is winding down, I'm gearing up to look for good work again.' The couple is currently enjoying a 14-day honeymoon, which started in Singapore and is concluding in Bali. Ashish met Rani, who acted in Gulaab Gang, at a gym in 2017. Reflecting on their journey, he shares, 'We took our time because we wanted to experience life's highs and lows together before committing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like サントリーロコモアが５,９４０→１,０８０円で試せる ロコモア こちらをクリック Undo It's important to understand how you handle situations as a team.'

We're poles apart in personality, but maybe that's what works for us. Her confidence, the way she treats me, and how she handles every situation — good or bad — made me fall in love with her all over again.'
