On Wednesday, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn slammed Kichcha Sudeep’s remark on Hindi not being India’s national language on Twitter. In a tweet, the actor defended Hindi and referred to it as India’s national language.
Kiccha Sudeep sparked a discussion about language when he declared that Hindi is no longer our national language. Ajay’s response was written entirely in Hindi, indicating that he vehemently disagreed with the South superstar.
During a press conference for his film, Sudeep observed, in the perspective of the popularity of South films even in the Hindi speaking regions, “You said that a pan India film was made in Kannada. I’d like to make a small correction. Hindi is no more a national language. They (Bollywood) are doing pan-India films today. They are struggling (to find success) by dubbing in Telugu and Tamil, but it’s not happening. Today we are making films that are going everywhere.”
Ajay Devgan seemingly responded on Twitter, typing in Hindi and saying, “My brother, if according to you Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your movies in your mother tongue by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man,”
.@KicchaSudeep मेरे भाई,
आपके अनुसार अगर हिंदी हमारी राष्ट्रीय भाषा नहीं है तो आप अपनी मातृभाषा की फ़िल्मों को हिंदी में डब करके क्यूँ रिलीज़ करते हैं?
हिंदी हमारी मातृभाषा और राष्ट्रीय भाषा थी, है और हमेशा रहेगी।

Kiccha Sudeep then responded to Ajay, claiming that whatever he said was misinterpreted. He added, “The context to why i said tat line is entirely different to the way I guess it has reached you. Probably wil emphasis 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.”

Ajay then wrote, “Hi @KicchaSudeep 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”
