What: Actor Siddharth, who was in Bengaluru, Karnataka to promote his upcoming film Chithha, was forced to leave a press conference at the city’s SRV theatre by members of a pro-Kannada group.
Furthermore: As the actor was interacting with the members of the media, a few men walked in and asked him to leave. They also told the organisers of the press conference to end the event immediately in support of the ongoing Cauvery protest. A protester said, “We are fighting here and the Cauvery water is going to Tamil Nadu. And he is promoting the film, do you guys want this?”
We heard: While the men spoke, Siddharth continued to interact with the media in Kannada, ignoring them. However, one of the protestors told the actor, “We have not come to order. We have come to request. Please stop this.” After a while, the actor got up from his chair and thanked the media members as he walked out of the press conference.
