Followed by the continuous tweets of actor Siddharth who condemned the Modi-led central government for the surge in the positive cases of COVID 19 and for the lack of medical facilities in the country, Maridhas, an ardent supporter of the BJP government, uploaded a tweet severely criticizing the “Boys” actor. He countered Siddharth by asking him to post tweets against the newly elected DMK government. However, as his tweet contained abusive terms, demeaning Siddharth’s profession which made Tamil actress Kasthuri to raise voice on behalf of all the actors.

Maridhas, in his tweet, asked Siddharth where the dawn DMK party promised and questioned about the lack of bed facilities in the hospitals of Tamil nadu. He asked Siddharth to comment on the lack of places to cremate the dead bodies. He termed Siddharth as “Koothadi” (folk dancer) in his tweet to degrade his acting profession.

“DMK party is forcing people to pay current bill amidst the pandemic situation. Open your mouth now Siddharth. Talk now” Maridhas said in his tweet.

Here’s his tweet :

டேய் விடியல் எங்கடா?
டேய் பெட் எங்கடா?
டேய் பிணம் எரிக்க இடம் எங்கடா?
டேய் கூத்தாடி சித்தார்த்.
உன்ன தாண்டா டேய்.

மக்கள் வருமானம் இல்லாமல் இருக்கும் போது மின்கட்டணம் கட்ட சொல்கிறது திமுக விடியல் அரசு.
இப்போ வாயை திறடா சித்தார்த்.
வாய்க் கொழுப்பு பேசி திரிந்த!
இப்போ பேசு டேய்..

Reacting to this tweet, Kasthuri said that a civilized Tamil man would would respect his enemy. “Don’t forget it. Why are you demeaning Siddharth’s profession here. The Sivan you worship is himself a folk dancer. If actors are “Koothadi”, you people are “Vaayadi”, you agree ? Do BJP’s army of actors agree with this attack?” Kasthuri said in her tweet.

எதிரிகளையும் மதிப்பதுதான் தமிழர் நாகரிகம். அதை மறக்க வேண்டாம். Why are you demeaning @Actor_Siddharth profession here? நீங்கள் வணங்கும் ஈசனும் கூத்தபிரான் தான். நடிகர்கள் கூத்தாடி என்றால் உங்கள் தொழில் வாயாடி. சரியா ?
Do BJP’s army of actors agree with this attack? @BJP4India https://t.co/ajFqG5Ckb0

“I agree @Actor_Siddharth crosses every line. Perhaps Siddharth’s vitriolic attacks make him fair game for return hate, ‘ da’ and ‘dei”. But his job as an actor has nothing to do with it. Am I right ?” she asked and tagged Tamil nadu BJP leader Murugan, Khushbu, Gayathri Raguramm, actress Gauthami and RK Suresh.

“Siddharth is not a representative of all the actors. It is not correct to degrade a profession which is respected by many artists, to condemn Siddharth. What is the name for Rajini, Kangana, Khushbu, Akshay Kumar and others in BJP party ? she asked.

சித்தார்த்தை திட்டுவதாக நினைத்து எத்தனையோ கலைஞர்கள் வணங்கும் கலைத்தொழிலை கேவலப்படுத்த யாருக்கும் உரிமையில்லை. சித்தார்த்தின் நடிகர்கள் அனைவரின் பிரதிநிதியும் இல்லை. ரஜினி கங்கனா,குஷ்பு, காயத்ரி ரகுராம், மிதுன் சக்ரவர்த்தி அக்ஷய் குமார் இவங்களுக்கு பிஜேபி ல என்ன பேரு?

“Forgot to tag the original poster- Hey Maridhas, if you want to insult someone, that is your thing. But don’t insult his acting job, then it is every actor’s thing. Thanks !” she further said.
