“These guys had a problem that we were talking about in Kannada. They were like you come to our area and stop talking in the languages you want. Yeah, local Kannada wala hey” (these guys are local Kannada) . It agitated them more when my husband and I spoke only in Kannada. They said to keep your “Kannada style” to yourself.

Poonacha said the incident put her off going out in the town where she grew up.

The actress asked, “Are we living in PAKISTAN or AFGHANISTAN?? Is it wrong to use my language, Kannada, and be abused for it in my own city??? How bad are we truly safe in our own city?”
