Actress Mallika Sukumaran reacts to the color discrimination against RLV Ramakrishnan. Mallika Sukumaran said that no artist should be hired on the basis of colour. Mallika Sukumaran also states that the label of Kalamandalam Sathyabhama should be removed. Mallika Sukumaran said these things during an interview.
‘Kalamandalam Satyabhama is not the real Satyabhama. The original Satyabhama teacher died. This is another duplicate, dummy. Not on the basis of a color, the artist is hired. Whether we are a teacher or a female teacher, we have a concept in our mind.
Any language spoken by anyone should have a civility. If the language spoken is not polite, no one is going to pay attention. Is it on the basis of colors that the manner of man should be determined? The government should respond against all of them. Kalabhavan Mani’s brother Ramakrishnan is dancing beautifully.
The label Kalamandalam should be removed from those who abuse like this. It should be removed from the art world. Art is a divine gift. Mallika Sukumaran said, “I am saddened that the big cultural heroes and organizations of Kerala have not responded on this issue.”
