Popular south Indian actor Prakash Raj has landed in trouble after acting in an advertisement which has dialogues which indirectly insults girls or saying against them. It is an advertisement of a popular jewelers in which Prakash Raj say that it is always a great tension to have a girl in the house who is old to get married. After seeing this advertisement a girl had filed a petition against Prakash Raj in court saying the actor has said something offending all the girls in general. The dialogue has the meaning that having girls is always a tension for parents as she had to be married off to someone.
The problem is the recent killing of female fetus has increased in many states across India as people consider girls as a tension or burden to their life and also they give more preference in raising boys. In a situation like this an advertisement which even if indirectly, stands against women or girls may affect the current situation in a negative way. And if an actor like Prakash Raj having a wide fan base promotes something negative, it could affect the society in a way unprecedented.
The one who filed this case against Prakash Raj in Madras High court is a social activist and she says that the advertisement is like insulting women and it can spread the view that girl children are a burden to the family. But as per reports the court said that Prakash Raj is only an actor and he has only performed his duty by following the instructions and dialogues given to him by the makers of the advertisement. So the case have to be taken against the ones who has conceived the advertisement and not against the actor who had acted in it as it is his profession to perform.
There is also a news spreading that the Madras high court has rejected the case filed against Prakash Raj given by the above mentioned social activist.
