Kannada star Kiccha Sudeepa REJECTS Karnataka State Film Awards for 2019; says ‘There are many deserving actors…’
In a recent turn of events, Kannada star Kiccha Sudeepa decides against receiving the best actor award from Karnataka state. Here is what he said!
Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeepa was recently announced as the recipient of the Best Actor award by the Karnataka State. However, the actor has graciously declined the honor.
In a recent tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Kiccha Sudeepa wrote:
“Respected Government of Karnataka and Members of the Jury, it is truly a privilege to have received the state award under the Best Actor category, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to the respected jury for this honor.
“However, I must express that I have chosen to stop receiving awards for several years now, a decision made for various personal reasons that I intend to uphold. There are many deserving actors who have poured their hearts into their craft and would appreciate this prestigious recognition far more than I would. It will only make me happier to see one of them receiving it.”
Sudeepa emphasized that his dedication to entertaining audiences does not stem from the pursuit of accolades. The Max actor shared that the acknowledgment by the jury itself is a significant motivation for him to continue contributing to cinema.
Highlighting that the recognition itself is a great reward, Sudeepa humbly declined the award. He also apologized to the jury members and the state government for any disappointment his decision might cause, expressing hope that they would understand his perspective.
