Venkat Prabhu who took part in the controversial Vizhithiru press meet has now issued a statement regarding the verbal fight between T Rajender and Dhansika. Venkat Prabhu is being criticized for sitting next to Dhansika and not reacting while TR was accusing her.

Check out Venkat Prabhu's response for this: "I was brought up to show respect to elders at all instances. Uncle TR voiced out his thoughts at the Vizhithiru function. What we thought as a tease initially, turned out to become serious. I was caught off guard. Dhansika is an industry freshie with little experience in public speaking. I believe it is the responsibility of us seniors to guide. Guidance is god's work. I humbly request for no other to have an outburst. We gain nothing from hurting. I convey this with utmost respect as always."
