"Can't Unscramble Scrambled Eggs": Court Raps Kamal Haasan In Kannada Row | Read

The Karnataka High Court has warned Tamil Nadu actor-politician Kamal Haasan against misusing his right to free speech to hurt people's sentiments, and called on him to withdraw the remark - that the Kannada language was "born out of Tamil" - at the centre of a fierce row.

In sharp remarks Tuesday morning, the court also offered Kamal Haasan a culinary-themed warning, declaring "you can't unscramble scrambled eggs" as it urged him to apologise.

"You are not an ordinary man," the court said of the 70-year-old superstar, who is expected to become a Rajya Sabha MP this month with support from Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK.
