After Ajay Devgn and Kiccha Sudeep started a debate on Hindi being the 'national language of India', many politicians, Bollywood celebs and netizens have shared their reactions on the issue. Former Congress Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Janata Dal (Secular)’s HD Kumaraswamy have slammed Ajay Devgn for his comments. Not only this, Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who has worked in many South films, recently reacted to the debate saying 'India has one language, which is entertainment'. While talking to a leading daily Sonu said, 'I don’t think Hindi can be called just the national language. India has one language, which is entertainment. It doesn’t really matter which industry you belong to. If you entertain people, they will love you, honour you and accept you.' Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma believes that this debate started because 'north stars are insecure and jealous of south stars.' It all started when Kiccha reacted to a question regarding the success of 'KGF: Chapter 2', 'Pushpa: The Rise' saying, 'Hindi is no more a national language. Because we come from South India, they started terming us 'pan-India'. Why isn't Hindi cinema being said as pan-India? Which is getting a better response from audiences today?' Ajay Devgn had then slammed Kiccha Sudeep for his statement saying 'Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language'. This was answered by a tweet by the south actor. Kiccha tweeted, 'The context to why I said that line is entirely different to the way I guess it has reached you. Probably will emphasize on why the statement was made when I see you in person. It wasn't to hurt, Provoke or to start any debate. Why would I sir.' He typed another tweet and wrote, 'And sir, I did understand the text you sent in Hindi. That’s only because we all have respected, loved and learnt Hindi. No offense sir, but was wondering what' would the situation be if my response was typed in Kannada!! Don't we too belong to India, sir.' Ajay too responded to Kiccha's tweet and wrote, 'You are a friend. Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding. I’ve always thought of the film industry as one. We respect all languages and we expect everyone to respect our language as well. Perhaps, something was lost in translation.'
