September 2 is just a date’: Sudeep pens emotional note to fans, calls their love his ‘shield’
BENGALURU: Actor Sudeep, who is gearing up for the next season of Bigg Boss Kannada, has announced that he will not celebrate his birthday with fans on September 2 this year.
In an emotional note shared with his fans, Sudeep said September 2 is just a date, but their love over the past three decades has turned it into a celebration. He thanked fans for standing by him through his films, Bigg Boss and various public events.
“Your applause, whistles and unconditional love have been my biggest strength,” Sudeep said, adding that the bond between him and his fans cannot be broken.
The actor also made it clear that he will not be available at his residence for birthday celebrations this year. However, he assured fans that they would meet in person soon.
Reflecting on his 30-year journey in Kannada cinema, Sudeep said films remain his “parama kayaka” (ultimate calling). He acknowledged that projects may sometimes take longer than expected, but said there are reasons behind such delays.
Quoting a dialogue from one of his own films, Sudeep wrote, “A lion sitting quietly does not mean it is tired; it means it is preparing for its next hunt.”
