Anchor Responds to Urvashi's On-Stage Criticism
21 Sep
Summary
- Anchor Daksha Raveendranath addressed Urvashi's critique on stage.
- Daksha explained her decision to use English based on organizer instructions.
- She clarified that the controversy affected her mental peace and reputation.
Malayalam anchor Daksha Raveendranath has detailed her perspective following veteran actor Urvashi's on-stage remarks about her use of English during a film event in Kochi. The incident, which occurred at Lulu Mall during the pre-launch of the multilingual film 'Aasha,' sparked significant debate online.
Daksha initially withheld comment out of respect for Urvashi but decided to speak out due to the personal toll the controversy was taking on her mental well-being and professional standing. She shared that Urvashi's later explanation about an audience member's gesture did not align with Daksha's view from the stage.
According to Daksha, her instruction was to host the event using a mix of English and Malayalam, given the pan-Indian nature of the film 'Aasha' and the venue's diverse audience. Her professional experience of over five years and hosting more than 1,000 events informed her calm demeanor on stage, prioritizing the event's smooth execution.
Urvashi had reportedly intervened, questioning the use of English in Kerala. Daksha contended that any concerns could have been communicated privately rather than through an on-stage interruption, emphasizing her adherence to the organizers' directives for the multilingual event.
