Bengaluru, Dec 16: The ‘sanskari’ Kannadigas have managed to exert enough pressure on the state government to deny permission to Bollywood actor Sunny Leone to perform at a New Year's Eve show in Bengaluru. However, they have not stopped Googling images and videos of the former porn star!

"We have denied permission for Sunny Leone’s show fearing law and order problems in the wake of protests by pro-Kannada outfits and also keeping in view the directions of the Karnataka high court in a molestation case reported on MG Road last New Year's Eve," home minister R Ramalinga Reddy said.

He added that they decided not to grant permission considering that her fans in Kochi went berserk during her visit there in August. "We took feedback from Kochi police before taking the decision," Reddy added.

The event billed as 'Sunny Night in Bengaluru NYE 2018' was to be held at White Orchid convention centre in the city. The organizers, however, said, "We haven't received any official communication from the police. We'll wait for it before calling off the event. We don't know why there is so much fuss about Leone performing here. She is here only to perform for a family show."

A senior police official said they may not permit Sunny Leone for the event. "We are waiting for the government's directions. As of now, home minister and other senior police officials are of the opinion that permission should not be given," he said.

Some pro-Kannada groups, including Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, were up in arms against the show claiming her performance here will be an assault on Kannada culture and tradition and will corrupt young minds. "We don't want her to come spoil our youth," the protesters had said.

Karnataka Rakshana Vedike members protested on Friday at Manyata Tech Park by burning posters of the actor and even threatened to commit "mass suicide" if her programme is eventually held.

This was not the first time that Leone is visiting Bengaluru for an event. After reinventing herself in Bollywood, the Indo-Canadian actor had even acted in Kannada movie 'DK'.

Interestingly, Sunny Leone continued to be Google's most searched Indian entertainer in 2017 like previous year and the contribution of Kannadigas in this regard also remarkable! 

The search engine giant has released its 'Most Searched' list. And Indo-Canadian porn star-turned-Bollywood actress Sunny Leone is right at the top of the most searched entertainer list in India.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: Thousands of people on Wednesday boarded boats from Ullal's Kotepura to join a massive protest against the amended Citizenship Act and National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Adyar here.

People travelling through boats and steamers decorated with national flags, raised slogans during their journey through the Netravathi River.

The innovative mode of transportation was used by the protestors to reach the venue, as it not only saved time but was also more convenient for the fishermen, as large number of people from this community joined the protest.

The protestors docked their boats at the shore, which was barely 500 metres from the site of protest, being held at Shah Ground in Adyar.

The distance between Kotepura to the Shah Ground is approximately 15 kilometres but protesters would have to walk more five kilometres to reach the venue because of heavy traffic.

Due to protest, the national highway was also blocked and resulted in huge traffic snarls on routes leading to agitation site.
