Blast actor Arjun Sarja counters Udhayanidhi Stalin: ‘Sanatan Dharma is a way of life’ | Tamil News

Published by Parlour News

2 min readHyderabadMay 29, 2026 02:58 PM IST The debate over Sanatan Dharma in Tamil Nadu has found a new voice, and this time it comes from the film industry. Actor Arjun Sarja talked about Sanatan Dharma at the pre-release event of Blast in Chennai, making his position clear without hesitation. For him, the argument against Sanatan Dharma rests on a misreading of what it actually is. “Sanatan Dharma, from what I know, is a way of life. It teaches you how to behave, not to steal, and not to feel jealous. Sanatan Dharma reminds youngsters to take care of their parents like how they care for their children,” he said. Arjun Sarja then turned the argument on its head with a pointed question for those calling for its removal. “If Sanatan Dharma shouldn’t be there, they should send their parents away. Is it possible?” he asked. Before wrapping up, Arjun was careful to draw a line between religion and philosophy. “Sanatan Dharma is not a religion, it’s a way of life. If everyone understands …
