Bigg Boss Kannada fame Rakshak Bullet faces backlash over controversial dialogue referencing Goddess Chamundeshwari

After Vinay Gowda and Rajath Kishen, another Bigg Boss Kannada celebrity has sparked controversy. Rakshak Bullet, son of the late comedian Bullet Prakash and a former reality show contestant, is in the spotlight for delivering a contentious dialogue about the Hindu goddess Chamundeshwari during a performance on a reality show. The remarks have triggered outrage among Hindu communities and set off a wave of criticism on social media.
The controversy stems from Rakshak's recreation of a scene from the Darshan-starrer movie Bul Bul. During his act, he delivered a dialogue that described the goddess as “descending from the hills, removing her saree and ornaments, and donning pants and a shirt to take a trip to Switzerland.” The statement has been labeled disrespectful by many, with accusations that it trivializes the sanctity of the goddess and hurts religious sentiments.
Pro-Hindu activists have demanded that Rakshak publicly apologize and release a video from the Chamundeshwari temple atop Mysore's hill by 11 AM today (March 26). They have also warned that if he fails to comply, a police complaint will be filed against him for hurting religious sentiments.
The incident has sparked widespread criticism on social media platforms, with users condemning the casual use of religious references for entertainment. Critics have called the act insensitive, emphasizing the need for artists to show greater respect for cultural and spiritual symbols.
Despite receiving praise from the show’s judges for his performance, Rakshak’s act has been overshadowed by the backlash. The controversy has fueled debates about the boundaries of artistic expression and the importance of respecting religious beliefs in the entertainment industry.
As Rakshak Bullet strives to establish himself in Sandalwood, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges and responsibilities that come with being a public figure. The controversy underscores the delicate balance between creativity and sensitivity in a culturally diverse society.
