The incidents of celebrities courting trouble in Kerala are rampant. Of late, first of its kind came from noted cine singer K J Jesudas coming heavily on women wearing jeans. Then came veteran actor Mammootty asking women folk to not give birth to children if they are unable give them home-made food. Finally it is the turn of another veteran actor Mohanlal asking pardon for Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is convicted under TADA for his involvement in Mumbai serial blasts case of 1993. Mohanlal commented that an actor like Sanjay Dutt, who has been a part of the cinema industry from last 2 decades, should be treated with compassion. The implication is: he too be forgiven for mistakes of the sort. The actor, who has been nominated for the civilian award Padma Bhushan, is also facing troubles for the possessing ivory without license. He at present serves the post of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army .A person holding such a position should never come in favour of a person involved in terrorist acts.
This is not for the first time the actor is falling in trouble. He earlier received huge criticisms for appearing in the commercial of a popular jewellery brand in military uniform. His latest blog, in which he criticizes moral policing and advocating man–woman public kiss is also controversial.
The writer-orator late Dr Sukumar Azhikode once called the actor as “Kankalam”( epitome of wickedness). And with the recent comments the actor has not proved it otherwise.
