Tweets and Trolls

Surprisingly, how could Kamal forget in this age of social media, all past mistakes or incidents could easily be recalled. Soon after Kamal boasted on tweet that his daughters don’t believe in caste, trollers began posting Shruti Haasan’s old video interview where Shruti told this to the journalist who is an Iyengar: “It is because you’re Iyengar and I am Iyengar and we are both creative. And there’s a very high chance that nobody will marry either of us.” This interview was in the year 2014.

While Kamal boasts he brought up his daughters without any caste traces in them, Shruti happily boasts of her Iyengar credentials. Taking up this contradictions, trollers began attacking him for his hollow ideologies after becoming politician.
