A few months ago, Kannada star Kiccha Sudeep made headlines as he and Ajay Devgn sparred on social media over Hindi and its status as the ‘national language’.

In April, after Sudeep said at an event that Hindi was ‘no longer India’s national language’, Ajay took to Twitter, tagging him and writing a long note in Hindi questioning his statement. This led to a to-and-fro between the two actors on the platform.

In a recent interaction with Hindustan Times, Kiccha Sudeep indicated that the two actors have buried the hatchet but also hinted that he believes it wasn’t Ajay’s idea to tweet to him in that manner.

When asked if he and Ajay Devgn are ‘friends’ after their Twitter spat three months ago, Sudeep says, “Ajay Devgn is a gentleman. There is nothing there. I am telling you 100% there is a small misinterpretation there. He tweeted to me but he was very sweet enough to retweet back and say ‘I got my answer Sudeep, thanks for clearing it up’.”

Ajay’s first tweet to Sudeep was in Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, while Sudeep’s response was in English. He even pointed out that he could have chosen to respond in Kannada, implying that Ajay wouldn’t have understood his response then.

Sudeep received a lot of support from fans and celebs on this, with many saying Ajay should have stuck to English–the common language–for the conversation. On this, Sudeep says, “I am very sure the man I know would never tweet in Hindi. It’s definitely a third person’s idea behind it. I do not want to know or conclude on that.”
