'I have become more cautious'

Nagathihalli Chandrashekar and Aindrita Ray have not crossed each other’s paths after the famous slapgate row.

Nagathihalli says he nurses no hatred for Aindrita. But after that dust had settled, Nagathihalli seems to have done his bit of investigation and found out that someone from within the industry instigated Aindrita to go ahead and weave stories. “It doesn’t matter to me if she has decided not to work with me again. There are thousands of youngsters waiting to be moulded. I was saddened after this careful manipulation came to my notice,” Nagathihalli told Metrolife and added, “I used to trust people simply and easily but now I have become more cautious.”

It’s easy to sensationalise things and the young get carried away by quick publicity, reasons Nagathihalli. He feels the younger lot in Sandalwood need a lot more commitment and discipline towards their profession.
