Tamil Actor Ranjith Calls Caste-Based Honour Killing NOT Violence, Says ‘It’s Parents Way of Showing Love’ (Watch Video)
Tamil actor Ranjith has sparked controversy with his recent comments on honour killings, stating they should not be considered violence. He controversially claimed that caste-based honour killings are merely a way for parents to express their love for their children.
On August 9, actor-director Ranjith shocked many with his comments defending honour killings during a media event in Salem. Promoting his film Kavundampalayam, he controversially claimed that honour killings, particularly those rooted in caste, are not acts of violence but rather expressions of parental care. Ranjith argued that just as parents would investigate a stolen bike, they act out of concern when they commit such acts. His statement has ignited a firestorm, particularly as there are growing demands for new legislation to combat honour killings.
