Music director Ramesh Narayan’s insult to Asif Ali is now the topic of discussion. When Asif Ali was invited to present the award to Ramesh Narayanan, he refused to accept the award from Asif Ali and called director Jayaraj to give the award from him. After the video of the incident went viral, Jewel, the host of the controversial program, came to the scene to respond to the issue.
Jewel Mary’s words. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought I should clarify some things and share what I saw. Manorathaman is an anthology consisting of nine films. Therefore, there is a huge line-up of talented people including stars, directors and music directors of all the nine films.
Mammooka and Priyadarshan sir are among them. The program is going on in full swing. Since there were so many guests, the organizers were less precise about who would come or not. And many of the lists given to me were incomplete. Then there were some additions and deletions.
Ramesh Narayanan sir has given the music for the film directed by Jayaraj sir. Ramesh Narayanan sir’s name was not in the list of the crew members of the nine films. This is a mistake on the part of the organizers who gave me the list. Also, none of those who came on the stage regarding the movie directed by Jayaraj sir paid any attention to Ramesh sir.
Ramesh sir was not called on stage with Jayaraj sir’s team. The reason is that his name is not in the list given.
Meanwhile, the show directors came and said that Ramesh sir was not called to the stage and Asif Ali was sitting next to him. He told him to give the momento and tell him to give it. And showed me Ramesh sir. But he did not tell me the name. And even though I knew his name and realized I was saying it wrong, no one corrected me. In the viral video, you can see me asking bystanders to tell me his correct name as soon as I announced him as Santhosh Narayan. After that I changed Santosh to Ramesh and announced.
Because the organizers said that Ramesh sir could not climb the stairs due to walking problem, he was not called on the stage and was not given a momento. Seeing Asif sitting next to Ali Ramesh sir, the show director said to make Asif angry. We didn’t think anything else about it. As far as we know, Asif is the most favorite actor of Malayalees. So I asked Asif
He gave the momento to Ramesh sir. Meanwhile the organizers called me for some corrections in the list. All this happened in seconds. We don’t have time to plan anything. So when Asif Ali went to give the moment, I didn’t see what happened. I was busy preparing the list for the next announcement. I also watched that Asif Ali video.
I also felt very sad. Ramesh sir heard that Asif did not know that he was bringing it to him. To give it to you or why Sir Asif is holding it out to you with a smiling face. If it was wrong to call his name, he could have complained about me. But why did he do it to Asif? I am very sad about the incident that happened there. So I apologize to Asif and Ramesh sir for that incident. I should have been careful to handle everything. The program was organized in a very sad way. I am a person who tries to think and speak sensibly without upsetting anyone while being a presenter. Asif was not attracted to Momento because of his size and youth.
Seeing Asif’s smiling face. Much love to Asif. Asif did not deserve the pain caused by that incident. Jewel Mary said that she did not do anything to harm anyone.
