Ajay Devgn and Kiccha Sudeep
Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and Kannada star Kiccha Sudeepa had a showdown as the two got into a verbal spat over whether Hindi is the national language of India or not. After Kiccha Sudeepaa said at an event that Hindi is not a national language anymore, Ajay Devgn did not mince words on the matter.
Ajay Devgn said, “Kiccha Sudeep, my brother, according to you, if Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your native language [mother tongue] films by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man."
To this, Kiccha wrote, "Hello@ajaydevgnsir.. the context to why i said tat line is entirely different to the way I guess it has reached you. Probably wil emphasis on why the statement was made when I see you in person. It wasn't to hurt,Provoke or to start any debate. Why would I sir."
Meanwhile, it all started whenKiccha Sudeepa had said, “Hindi is no more a national language”, in the wake of South films breaking records at the box office.
