Stand-up comedian and actor Karthik Kumar has been in news lately after his singer and ex-wife Suchitra's statement regarding his sexuality. While the actor had reacted to her comments, there was an audio clip containing casteist remarks about a particular community with his picture that went viral.
While Karthik Kumar has denied it was his voice in the audio clip, he has now filed a complaint against the doctored audio clip. Sharing a video, Karthik Kumar wrote, "For all concerned - criminal complaint filed and FIR will be shared soon. #audionote"
In the video, Karthik Kumar said, "Who spoke insensitively in the audio note? The investigation has begun. I have filed a complaint to find out who that is. All of you didn't think it was me. People who know me knew it wasn't me. People who don't know me personally and understand what I stand for believed it wasn't me. People who were in doubt were willing to think logically and believed me. Thanks to those who thought that it wasn't my voice."
"But, there were people who spewed hate thinking that the voice should be mine, I see your hate. I know you hate, not me, but somebody who looks like or you think it's me. I am not that person. But, there's a lot of hate inside you. I hope it becomes love and understanding. Let's find out who that is soon," he added.
He also thanked those who supported and believed him. Earlier in a video, Karthik Kumar said, "That's not my voice. I never said those words. I don't even talk like that. I don't even have that vocabulary. Believe what you will."
