Allu Arjun Breaks Silence, Clarifies His Actions
Hyderabad: Actor Allu Arjun said that he was shocked after the death of his fan, Revathi, and about the severe injury to her son, Sri Tej but was advised against visiting the deceased family. “My hands were tied by my legal team. They told me that I shouldn’t visit the family since they have filed a complaint against me. I couldn’t come out of the shock,” he said at a press meet on Saturday evening. “After getting to know about the unfortunate death of my fan, I was shell-shocked. I was allowed to put out a video of a condolence message and nothing more,” he added. He said that when he got to know that fans of Chiranjeevi had died he visited the families of the deceased fans. “I had been to Vizag, Vijayawada, and the outskirts of Hyderabad when I got to know about the incident. I consoled their families. So why wouldn’t I go visit the family of my fan, who has suffered such an irreplaceable loss?” he informed. He further added that many special events in Bangalore and Chennai to celebrate the success of Pushpa: The Rule were cancelled since it wasn’t the right thing to do after the death. “I can’t keep quiet when somebody character assassinates and questions my honesty. I always kept track of the injured child, Sri Tej in the hospital and asked my father, uncle, and director to check his status including his treatment and recovery update,” he said. He said it is disturbing being attacked during this "low point" in my life and I will not tolerate comments against my character. “I have taken many such comments in my stride since I am a strong person. But, this time, I couldn’t, and so I came out to express my anguish and pain due to the unfortunate mishap. People like me who are movie buffs like to watch movies in theatres,” he added. He further said that he is in discussions with director Sukumar and his producers about putting aside a decent sum in fixed deposit and taking forward advance treatment for the injured child. “I also have a child of the same age, so why wouldn’t I think about the well-being of an ailing child? I’ll do my best, whatever may come, to support the bereaved family,” he concluded.
