I stand by you: Shivarajkumar backs Ramya, slams online trolls

Kannada star Shivarajkumar came in support of actor-politician Ramya, who had lodged a complaint with the Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru, against fans of actor Darshan. Ramya had slammed these fans for sending her offensive messages online.

A couple of days before her complaint, Ramya had shared news reports regarding Supreme Court proceedings in the murder case of Renukaswamy, in which Darshan is one of the accused persons. She slammed the fans for sending “obnoxious” messages on social media.

Veteran actor Shivarajkumar backed Ramya, saying “no woman should face this kind of a situation.” Shivarajkumar took to social media to voice out his opinion. “Words used against Ramya on social media are condemnable,” he said.

“We must learn to respect women. Social media is a powerful tool. We must use it responsibly. We must not spread hate and jealousy through social media. Ramya is fighting for something meaningful and I stand by her,” wrote Shivarajkumar.

Ramya had said that it’s high time women spoke about harassment faced on social media. “The disgruntled fans of actor Darshan have sent scandalous, ghastly and obnoxious messages to my Instagram handle through various accounts. The messages sent to me are so disgusting and misogynistic that I am unable to even reproduce the same in the complaint,” Ramya had said in her complaint.
