THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: There was a news doing rounds on social media that ace singer Yesudas reprimanded the presenters at the Soorya Festival. Yesudas had publicly expressed his discontent over the delay in the scheduled programs. This was spread on social media in a manner that the legendary singer scolded the women. Now, Soorya Krishnamoorthy himself has come up with a response to the controversy.

Krishnamoorthy said that the presenters Resmi and Sajna just repeated what he taught them and it wasn’t Yesudas’ statement that hurt them but the loud ridiculing claps that erupted from the members present.

‘Resmi and Sajna just repeated what I taught them. If it was a bit longer than usual, it’s my fault. Soorya is functioning with B.R. Shetty’s support alone. It wasn’t Yesudas’ statement that hurt the presenters but the loud ridiculing claps that erupted from the members when the statement was made. They both are artist and moreover human beings. Please don’t be cruel to the dedicated and genuine artists. The two artists are precious to Soorya’.
