KFPA had slapped the ban on her for allegedly creating marital disharmony in the family of actor Darshan, who has been arrested for reportedly physically harassing his wife. "I don't know what to do... I need to speak to Doddanna, (Kannada Cine Artists Association Secretary)," she said when asked if she would lodge a complaint with KCAA. Nikita said she had also tried to speak to KFPA President Muniratna Naidu, but that he had not answered her call. Asked if she would fly down to Bangalore to solve the problem, she said, "I have not thought about it now." The actress had recently announced her first home production, starring Duniya Vijay and Aditya opposite her.
Both of them have voiced their support for Darshan in the past few days. Meanwhile, Kannada actress Tara, who spoke to reporters after visiting Darshan at Rajiv Gandhi Hospital for Chest Diseases, rued that KFPA "has taken the decision to ban Nikita in a hurry." "Right now KCAA President is abroad and after his return will convene a meeting and resolve the matter. It is necessary that both Kannada film producers and cine artistes get justice through talks... this is my wish," she said. Doddanna had reportedly expressed his support for Nikita, saying the association would stand by her and fight for her after she files an official complaint with them. KFPA President Munirathna Naidu had stated that the decision was taken in the light of Darshan's wife filing a police complaint naming her as responsible for the storm in her marital life. However, the allegation is yet to be ascertained.
