Gone are the days when only personalities like heroes or politicians became famous. After the social media evolved, everything had changed in big scale. Now, it takes no time to go viral on social media websites and become famous never before. And the news need not be trending at that moment, it might be the news that happened long ago, it can go viral at any time in future.
A few days ago, some pictures of a dark complexion boy and a beautiful girl took the Internet by storm. People made fun of this couple and the sad part was most of the comments are made on the grounds of racial discrimination.
Coming to the matter, starting from the story of popular actors like Gemini Ganeshan and Savithri to Kamal Haasan and Gauthami, Dhanush and Aishwarya, Kollywood, known as the Tamil Film Industry has always been famous for its love stories both on and off screen. Kollywood has witnessed to many reel to real life love stories.
One such love tale is that of this couple. This man may don’t have good looks but he is not an ordinary man. He is a celebrity from South Indian film industry. Actually, this picture is of Tamil film director and screenplay writer Atlee Kumar.
The lady with him in the picture is his wife. Her name is Krishna Priya. The couple dated for long 8 years before tying the knots with each other in 2014. Krishna Priya is a famous TV actress, apart from this, she has also be seen in South’s super hit film ‘Singham’ in Divya Mahalingam’s character.
One of the pictures of the couple has attracted much attention on social media, with many trolls passing racist comments on them. They commented the couple as they are not aware of who Atlee is?
Atlee is a very accomplished technician and he worked with renowned Director Shankar for 5 years, as the associate director for massive, landmark films such as Enthiren (Robot) and Nanban. He was applauded for his work and soon became a household name among Kollywood fans.
Atlee’s full name is Arun Kumar. Atlee happens to be one of Tamil film industry’s most famous scriptwriter and director, whose debut film ‘Raja Rani’ (2013) was a roaring success. The film also won him the Vijay Award for the Best Debut Director. He also has his own film production house called A for Apple Production.
His second movie was Theri, an action family drama movie, starring Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. It was also a massive hit.
For the social media trolls, it is not love in the relationship but the color of their skin that matters. For them, we have just a small suggestion ‘just ignore and grow up!’
