Kiccha Sudeep is one of the versatile star actors from the Kannada movie industry. He was recently chosen the Best Actor by the Karnataka State Government for his performance in the film, Pailwaan. However, he politely declined the award as he chose to stop receiving awards for some personal reasons.

Taking to X, Sudeep thanked the government for the recognition and then went on to share the reasons why he decided to decline the award.

Addressing the government of Karnataka and the members of the Jury, Sudeep said, “It is truly a privilege to have received the state award under the best actor category, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to the respected jury for this honor.”

Explaining the reason for declining the awards, he said, “However, I must express that I have chosen to stop receiving awards for several years now, a decision made for various personal reasons that I intend to uphold. There are many deserving actors who have poured their hearts into their craft and would appreciate this prestigious recognition far more than I would. It will only make me happier to see one of them recieving it.”

“My dedication to entertaining people has always been without the expectation of awards, and this acknowledgment from the jury alone serves as a significant boost for me to continue striving for excellence. I am grateful to every jury member for selecting me, as this recognition is, in itself, my reward. I sincerely apologize to the jury members and the state government for any disappointment my decision may cause, and I trust you will respect my choice and support me on the path I have chosen,” he wrote on X.
