Now, on Tuesday, veteran Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar took to X to support Ramya’s stance. He shared a long note and tweeted, “Your stance is correct @divyaspandana, we will always stand with you.”
In his note, the actor wrote, “The words used against Ramya are reprehensible. It is not right to speak like that against any woman; we should not tolerate it. It is very important to respect women as mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and first and foremost as individuals.”

Ramya On Filing A Complaint Against Darshan’s Fans
While talking to Cinema Express, Ramya revealed that she has filed a formal complaint and has details of ‘43 threatening accounts so far’. She also stated that over 100 are fake profiles that have been involved in the trolling.
She further said, “In the past, I ignored such trolling, thinking it was part of being a public figure. But this time, it went too far. The complaint has been filed, and I’ve been informed it will be forwarded to the cybercrime division.”
Why Did Darshan’s Fans Troll Ramya?
Kannada actor Darshan was arrested last year in June in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy, a native of Chitradurga. She was allegedly murdered for passing derogatory comments on Darshan's associate, Pavithra Gowda. However, he got bail in December.
A few days ago, the Supreme Court of India expressed strong disapproval of the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant bail to Darshan in the Renukaswamy murder case. Ramya commented on the Supreme Court’s remarks, and that’s when the trolling started.
The actress revealed, “The trolling began after I commented on the Supreme Court’s remarks in the Darshan case, saying, SC is a ray of hope for the common people of India – justice for the family of Renukaswamy.”
