Stand-up comedian Karthik Kumar has reacted to singer and ex-wife Suchitra's statement regarding his sexuality. Suchitra in a recent interview with a Tamil online platform made controversial statements and allegations against her ex-husband and also former actor-director couple Dhanush and Aishwarya.
In the interview, Suchitra claimed that Karthik was gay and even hinted about his relationship with Dhanush. Now, Karthik took to social media to address the claims, though he did not directly speak about the interview. In the video, Karthik said he would not be ashamed if he was gay.
"I would be very very proud to be any kind of sexual in the gigantic and glorious spectrum of sexuality that exists out there. I would not be ashamed. I would be proud. I would join a pride rally in my city, which I anyway will. All kinds of sexualities join the pride rally and show your support. There is no shame anymore. There’s just pride. Be proud,” he said.
Suchitra and Karthik got married in 2005. They separated in 2017. Suchitra often makes unverified claims regarding the Tamil film industry and has a huge following on social media. The singer recently claimed that both Dhanush and Aishwarya were not faithful to each other throughout their marriage.
