What is his shot-to-fame controversy?
It was in 2021 when Rakshak made headlines after his serious altercation with transgender people on the road. It was on 7th September that year that he was attacked by four or five transgenders in Bangalore and was severely injured. The city often sees a large number of trans people asking for money at signals.
What exactly happened that day?
Rakshak revealed back then that he was returning from his gym session near Hebbal flyover. "Since there was a lot of traffic, I drove down below the flyover when the transgenders tried to stop my vehicle even as my two-wheeler was on the move. I lost control and fell off before hitting the divider."
The Jr Bullet confessed not abusing them but rather hearing abuses from them. He shared further, "I was worried and fled from the spot without taking my vehicle as I felt life was more precious than the two-wheeler. Since I was wearing a full helmet, I narrowly escaped from getting a major blow to my head resulting in a serious injury.¡±
Rakshak had then filed a police complaint at the Hebbal police station limits.
Rakshak¡¯s father Bullet Prakash died of a heart attack in 2020 at the age of 42.
Prakash earned his nickname ¡°Bullet¡± because he loved riding the Royal Enfield Bullet. He primarily acted in Kannada cinema and was best known for portraying comic roles. Interestingly, Prakash appeared in more than 325 films and also made a foray into politics with the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2015.
Prakash¡¯s best works include films like Mast Maja Maadi (2008), Aithalakkadi (2010), Mallikarjuna (2011) and Aryan (2014). Prakash was survived by his wife Manjula and kids Rakshak and Monika Varshini. Upon his father¡¯s death, Rakshak once shared, ¡°It is time for the comedian¡¯s son to take centre stage. That¡¯s my aim and I want my work to do the talking.¡±
