Tamil actress Srushti Dange has decided to walk out of Prabhu Deva's upcoming concert citing discrimination. The actress penned an emotional note on her social media and also wrote reasons for her firm decision.
Srushti Dange wrote in a note on her social media handle that despite being in the industry for so many years, she still has to ‘fight for what she rightfully deserved’.
“To all my amazing supporters who were expecting to see me at the Prabhu Deva concert, I am deeply saddened to share that I have decided to walk out of the show. This decision is not directed at Prabhu Deva sir in any way-I have been a huge fan of him and always will be. However, I cannot stand for discrimination and leanings," she wrote.
“It truly hurts that even after being in the industry for so many years, you still have to fight for what you rightfully deserve. False promises and unfulfilled commitments are disappointing, and these were the major reasons behind my decision," she added.

Srushti made it clear that her decision was not directed at Prabhu Deva at all and that she respects him a lot. "I don’t need an event to celebrate Prabhu Deva sir – we will always celebrate him, no matter what. But this could have been a cherished memory, and instead, it ended in disappointment. Maybe next time, in a better and healthier, more respectful space, things will be different," she wrote.
Surshti said she hopes that in near future the performers in the industry will be taken care of and given more respect.
"I only wish the creative team had taken more care in planning and respecting the artists involved. This project meant a lot to me, and it’s unfortunate that it had to end on this note," she wrote in the note.
Prabhu Deva, who is going to perform at YMCA Grounds in Chennai on Saturday, February 22, has not reacted to Srushi’s statement.
