Vijayalakshmi said, “All our celebrities have been called. You all know how much Darshan loves you. It is sad that today we are in this situation and we have to keep a distance from him. I have spoken to him in detail about the situation outside and it has touched his heart.”
Darshan urged all his celebrities to stay calm and focus on doing good work. He said that he is sure he will be a part of your prayers.
He said, “We have full faith in the judicial system of our country and I am sure there will be good days ahead. I firmly believe that Maa Chamundeshwari will take care of those who are trying to harm her through words/deeds during her absence from darshan.”
