Krishnakumar’s youngest daughter Hansika Krishna opened up about the Instagram subscription video controversy, which has been discussed extensively on social media. Hansika said that she has been living with a lot of pain and guilt for the last one month and this video was a moment of insensitivity for her. The actor opened up about his role in a long note shared via Instagram. The incident occurred three days before the release of a music video that his sister had been working on for over a year, in which she also starred. Hansika also says that if she had done something like this intentionally, her sister’s career would not have been affected. Hansika strongly denied the allegations that she did this for money and publicity. The actor said that at the age of 20 he has the income to take care of his affairs and he does not aspire for fame as he has the love given to him by the audience over the years.
After this incident, Hansika also spoke against the cyber attacks on herself and her family. As a public figure, criticism is natural. But the actor also accused some people of taking it as a ‘project’ and continuously making videos containing cruel language to increase the reach of their social media accounts. Hansika also says that this experience made her wonder how people can show so much hatred on an issue that does not affect them personally. Hansika apologized from her heart to all those who were hurt or disappointed by her actions. The actor expressed his gratitude towards his family and friends who stood by him during the crisis.
Hansika shared the note with the caption ‘I have something to say’. Hansika’s mother Sindhu and sisters took to the comments section to support the star. ‘You are in my heart, I will always be with you’ said mother Sindhu Krishna. Hansika replied with a crying emoji saying ‘mom’. Ahana shared a kiss emoji calling it Hansu. When Ishani Krishna commented, ‘Not again’, Diya Krishna commented, ‘We know who you are, Hansu.’ Many people are coming to the comment section to support Hansika. Some people commented that they were proud of Hansika who openly expressed her feelings in this way.
Full version of Hansika’s note:
“I hope you’re all okay. About three weeks ago, I had some issues with a video I shared through my Instagram subscription feature. Looking back, it was a completely reckless and childish decision on my part; I honestly regret it. I don’t want to justify it at all. But for the past month I’ve been living with a lot of pain, guilt, and burden. So I thought I’d finally open up to you about it. People who truly love me Maybe when they listen to me they will understand the truth.
I still don’t know why I posted this. That was a big mistake. This was done impulsively and without thinking. As soon as I posted this, I felt so sorry. Within five minutes I realized I was wrong and immediately deleted the video. Unfortunately, during that short period of time, some people in the membership group screen-recorded it and it later went viral on social media.
What should YOU read next
Many people accused me of doing this for money and fame. It is not wrong for some people to feel this way, but I say that I never had any such goal. In my twenties, I am able to earn enough to take care of my affairs. More than that, fame is not something we crave or something you have given me and my family over the years.
What hurt me most was something else; A music video that my sister had been working on for over a year, starring me in the lead role, was to be released just three days after the incident. If I had even thought about the impact of what I was doing, I wouldn’t have done anything that would have affected his hard work, especially right before release. Although fortunately it didn’t have any impact on the music video, I think it helps to understand that there was no preconceived plan behind it. It was a mistake, a huge mistake that will forever be etched in my mind.
I and my family were the only two people who were directly hurt by my actions. For the last few days, we are suffering the mental pain and consequences of this mistake. It has not had any direct impact on anyone else. Therefore, it was very difficult for me to bear the abuse, stalking and evil hatred that I faced online after this. I know that as a public figure people will criticize and discuss my mistakes and I completely accept that.
But often the reactions went beyond criticism. Some people treated the situation as a ‘project’; They were constantly making videos about me to increase their reach and viewership on their social media accounts. They had great material. The language used in those videos was hurtful to me and my family alike. Now I have nothing to say to those who suffer cyber attacks and find pleasure in someone else’s pain.
My mistakes are different, but this experience made me wonder how people can so easily develop so much hatred towards another human being over an issue that has no effect on them. I’m not trying to garner sympathy here or run away from my mistakes. I just felt like telling you what has been going on in my heart for the last one month, that’s all.
Many people also questioned why I increased the subscription amount from Rs 299 to Rs 399. When the issues got out of control I initially wanted to turn off that subscription feature completely. But I knew it would create more discussion and negativity. So, I increased the rate thinking that if I increase the amount then people will subscribe less. I am not forcing anyone to believe me, just telling the truth from my side.
I would like to say one more thing; After this incident, a sudden increase in membership resulted in the entire amount being donated to a social service. I personally have not taken even a single penny from it.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt or disappointed by my actions. It also hurts me to know that I made you sad. But I think you will believe that it was not done from any evil intention, but from a moment’s indiscretion. This experience taught me some difficult but valuable lessons. I hope this will help me become a wiser, better person in the years to come.
This incident may have changed the perspective of some people about me.
However, I don’t think it will change the person inside me that you know by now. I’m still the same old man. I hope you remember me with the same love and understanding. I hope that when the time comes, you will forgive me and give me another chance. My heartfelt thanks to my family and friends who have stood by me during this crisis and to the many people who have supported me. With love and hope, Hansika.
