BIGG BOSS MURUGADOSS EXTENDS SUPPORT TO VICTIMS

At the concert, which was held on September 10, many women allegedly got molested, children were displaced and elderly fell sick due to overcrowding. ACTC Events and AR Rahman have promised compensation for the people who couldn’t enter the venue despite having valid tickets.

Since yesterday (September 12), support has been pouring in for AR Rahman. Actors Karthi, Khushbu, Sarath Kumar, singers Shweta Mohan, Rakshita Suresh, Haricharan and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, in their notes, wrote that AR Rahman doesn’t deserve this. Their supportive statements were criticised for being ‘tone-deaf’ and not standing by the victims.

Bigg Boss Ultimate winner Balaji Murugadoss, in his reply to Karthi’s post on X (formerly Twitter), extended his support to the victims. His post read, “Dear Karthi sir, Nobody hates ARR to be frank. Fans are just disappointed as they expected ARR to sue that greedy event management company for over selling the ticket and mistreating/mismanagement of “his” fans (sic).”
