He stated that so far he had been writing about his experiences and sharing anecdotes with his fans. But, as his recent posts have angered some sections of people, he will be quitting Facebook before it gets out of hand.
He feels that with the Facebook account, he had ended up creating a platform where people could make derogatory remarks against him and his family. He said, “My world is small and my life is quite simple. This is your world, your freedom—live as you would want to live.”
Sivakumar concluded by saying that he is deactivating his account for his own sake, as well as for the sake of his loyal fans.
