Kamal Haasan joins the bandwagon of celebrities who have come out in support of Indian wrestlers who are protesting against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) head is accused of sexually harassing a number of female wrestlers.
On the one month anniversary of the protest, Kamal Haasan took to his Twitter handle and wrote, 'Today marks 1 month of protests by athletes of the wrestling fraternity. Instead of fighting for national glory, we have forced them to fight for personal safety. Fellow Indians, who deserves our attention, our national sporting icons or a politician with an extensive criminal history? #IStandWithMyChampions #WrestlersProtest'.
As soon as the veteran star shared the post, comments poured in from all sides. While one user wrote, 'When most of the prominent Bollywood artists and celebrities have stayed silent on this issue, #KH is the only biggest star to come forward and support our national icons for their justice. #KamalHaasan', another one added, 'Thank you Leader. Our national sporting icons deserve the attention and justice #IStandWithMyChampions #WrestlersProtest.'
Earlier, celebrities like Pooja Bhatt, Sonu Sood, Gauahar Khan, Vidyut Jammwal and Swara Bhasker had supported the wrestlers and amplified their pleas since their protest began last April.
Kamal Haasan is currently working on the long-delayed 'Indian 2'. The S Shankar film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh and Gulshan Grover.
