Following Pawan Kalyan's criticism of Karthi's comments regarding Tirupati Laddu, the Tamil actor issued a public apology on Tuesday. In response, Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister praised Karthi for his sincere expression of remorse.
"I sincerely appreciate your kind gesture and swift response, as well as the respect you've shown towards our shared traditions. Matters concerning our sacred institutions, like Tirupati and its revered laddus, carry deep emotional weight for millions of devotees, and it’s essential for all of us to handle such topics with care," the 'OG' actor wrote on social media.
Pawan Kalyan added that he understands the situation was "unintentional". The Jana Sena chief further mentioned, "Our responsibility as public figures is to foster unity and respect, especially regarding what we cherish most—our culture and spiritual values. Let's always strive to uplift these values while continuing to inspire through cinema."
Wishing Karthi all the best for 'Sathyam Sundaram' (September 28th release), Pawan Kalyan expressed his admiration for Karthi as a "remarkable actor whose dedication and talent have consistently enriched our cinema."
