Actor-turned-activist Prakash Raj is facing criticism after an old video of him showering praise on Mohammed Nalapad, son of Congress MLA NA Haris, at an event in January 2017, surfaced recently.
In the video, Raj is seen on stage with Nalapad. He points to Nalapad and praises his upbringing. “This small boy called me here for this function and I said you are doing great work and I’ll surely come to the function. I said I have a Prakash Raj Foundation and that we adopt villages. I asked him for help and he stepped up to help me. Tomorrow, if we adopt a village in Chitradurga and build a house for a poor person, or help a farmer, it is because of this boy,” he is seen saying.
