00:00See, they are confusing the issue. I think what I said was said out of love.
00:07Let me tell you, Tamil Nadu is a place which has been open.
00:12I don't say that there's no other state like that, but very rare state.
00:17Politicians are not qualified to talk about language.
00:21They don't have the education enough to talk about it. That includes me.
00:26This is not an answer. This is an explanation.
00:30Love will never apologize.
00:33A statement by you during a promotion which said that Kannada was born from Tamil has created quite a controversy.
00:43And many Kannada groups are protesting this. There is protest happening in Karnataka.
00:48And Kannada Raksana Vedike has said that if you don't apologize, there will be boycotting the movie Thug Life.
00:53See, they are confusing the issue.
00:55I think what I said was said out of love and with a lot of historians who have taught me language history and that.
01:08I didn't mean anything.
01:10And let me tell you, Tamil Nadu is a place which has been open.
01:15I don't say that there's no other state like that, but very rare state where a Mainan has been our chief minister.
01:24A Reddy has been our chief minister.
01:28A Tamil Nadu has been chief minister.
01:35When there was a problem in Chennai, which came from that chief minister who hailed from Karnataka, it was Karnataka who gave me support.
01:56The Kannadikas said, come here, we'll give you a house, don't go anywhere.
02:01So the people will take care of Thug Life, Kamalahasan and all these controversies.
02:07Politicians are not qualified to talk about language.
02:12They don't have the education enough to talk about it.
02:15That includes me.
02:16So let's leave all these very in-depth discussions to historians, archaeologists and languages experts.
02:30Both those who criticized me for this statement of love, I spoke to Mr. Sivarnath.
02:38His father is like my father, elder brother, whatever you call it.
02:43That we are a family and so are the languages.
02:47If you look at it from the northern point of view, yes, what they say according to them is right.
02:53If you look at it from Tenkumari, then what I say is right.
02:58There's a third angle to it.
03:00That's what I said the scholars and language experts.
03:04They will say they both are right, but they must decide where they want to belong.
03:10With their family or the languages that came from the north.
03:15That's up to you.
03:16It's a democratic country.
03:19This is not an answer.
03:21This is an explanation.
03:23Love will never apologize.
