Renowned actor Sivakumar found himself amidst controversy once more as he attended a book launch event in Chennai. An incident that happened during the event was caught on camera and it has now sparked uproar across social media platforms. In the clip captured by ABP Nadu, an elderly man can be seen approaching Sivakumar with a smile, presenting him with a shawl. However, rather than accepting the gesture, Sivakumar visibly expresses his displeasure by snatching the shawl and throwing it on the ground. The elderly man follows him, picking up the shawl from the floor, and the actor again asks him to stay away. The video swiftly drew attention from fans and netizens alike. Social media platforms were abuzz with criticism, with one user writing, “@Suriya_offl His actions directly anger others towards you, resulting in a loss of respect for your family. #Sivakumar #Suriya Don’t extend invitations to individuals of this nature for public functions. Just ignore them and withhold respect. #Tamilcinema #Ajithkumar #Vijay.” The actor Suriya is Sivakumar’s son, and fans pointed out their disappointment towards such actions. This is not the first incident for Sivakumar. In 2018, he made headlines for a similar allegation when he knocked a fan’s phone out of their hand as they attempted to take a selfie with him. Despite later issuing a public apology and compensating the fan with a new phone, Sivakumar’s recurrent instances of losing his composure have continued to attract negative attention. Sivakumar is a prominent name in the Tamil film industry since the 1960s, boasting a prolific career spanning nearly six decades, featuring a diverse array of roles encompassing protagonists, antagonists, and supporting characters. Although he has transitioned away from active film roles since the early 2000s.
