Actor Siddharth is quite active on his social media handle. Apart from updating his followers with his movies, he also posts on many politically and socially relevant issues. The Rang De Basanti actor recently slammed Tamil Naidu chief minister Edappadi Palaniswami for supporting Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB). He posted, “Deeply ashamed that Edappadi Palaniswami represents my state and our people. Supporting the #CAB shows his true colours, his lack of integrity and his desperate need to remain powerful at any cost. You will all be held accountable. Enjoy your temp power till then with the hash tag: #IndiaRejectsCAB.”
When AIADMK minsiter Jayakumar was asked about Siddharth’s comments against his government, the minister said, “Who’s that? In which film has he starred?” He added that he wasn’t willing to waste his time answering such questions, as these actors talk to gain publicity”. Siddharth who was tagged by his fan to the clip, rather resposnded to it cheekily. He tweeted, “He asks who I am. No problem. His government awarded me the Tamil Nadu State Government Best Actor Award for 2014. They announced it in 2017 and still haven’t given me the award. I don’t need to speak for publicity. I have earned my place and came up on my own. Honestly.”
