Retired DC recalls Darshan's unwarranted gesture

A retired DC Sateesh has provided new insights into a statement made by actor Darshan after his release from jail. The actor, who was incarcerated for domestic violence against his wife Vijayalakshmi, in 2011, reportedly said, “I will go and come,” as he left the prison. Now, with Darshan once again behind bars, Sateesh sheds light on the cultural significance of these words.

In Indian tradition, it is customary to say that one will return to a place they have visited as a gesture of respect and propriety. However, this practice is generally avoided in negative contexts, such as leaving a place of incarceration. It’s believed that saying so could invite a return to those unpleasant circumstances.

Darshan’s 2011 arrest for domestic violence had shocked his fans and the film industry. His recent legal troubles have once again put him in the spotlight, prompting renewed discussion about his past statements and actions. Sateesh’s comments provide a cultural lens through which to understand the actor’s remark, suggesting that it was an unintended divergence from traditional norms.
