It looks like trouble has fallen in love with Kamal Haasan. Two days ago, fundamentalists were screaming for his arrest for allegedly denigrating Hindu culture on Bigg Boss. Now there’s a fresh demand for his arrest for naming the victim in the Dileep alleged-assault case in Kerala at a press conference.
Kamal is dumbfounded by what he sees as the warped wisdom of the moral brigade. “Firstly this was a press meet for my new stint on Bigg Boss. So there was no relevance to any question on the alleged assault in Kerala. However since a lady reporter asked me about it, I politely replied, and I mentioned the victim’s name. This, apparently, is not an acceptable way of addressing the wronged lady. They want me arrested for naming her,” Kamal is flabbergasted.
“I don’t understand why we must conceal her name. She has come forward to speak of her own harrowing experience. She’s very brave, and I am proud of her. Having said this, I don’t know what the law says on this matter. So I reserve any further comment,” adds the actor.
