Vinish wrote an emotional note
Vinish slammed the trolls on Instagram who made ‘nasty comments’ and used ‘obnoxious language’ against his father Darshan. He also slammed the trolls for not realising that he was only 15 years old.
He wrote, “Thank you all for all the bad comments and offensive language towards my father and not thinking that I am a 15 year old kid who has feelings, and even during this difficult time when my parents needed support, cursing me will not change you all.”

According to the Times of India, Darshan’s wife Vijayalakshmi unfollowed him on social media before deactivating his Instagram account.
Ram Gopal Varma’s reaction on Darshan’s arrest
Director Ram Gopal Varma recently commented on the ‘oddity’ of star worship on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “A star using one of his die-hard fans to kill another die-hard fan who was interfering in his personal life is an apt example of the oddity of the star worship syndrome. Fans wanting to dictate how their stars live their lives is an inevitable side effect of the same syndrome.”
The case of Darshan-Pavitra
Pavithra has been named as A1 and Darshan as A2 in the murder case of Renukaswamy. The two were arrested on June 11 by the Bengaluru police after their bodies were found in a drain near Summanahalli on June 9.
Two of his associates reportedly tried to dodge the police and admitted that they killed Renukaswamy due to financial feud and dumped his body in a shed in RR Nagar. However, when the police extracted call records, they found out that Darshan and Pavitra were involved in the case. The police have made three more arrests in the case on Thursday, reports PTI.
