Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa will not get home cooked food in jail. The Bengaluru court has rejected the petition of the Kannada film star in which he had demanded home cooked food in jail.
During the hearing in the court, Darshan's lawyer argued that being an actor, it is important for Darshan to follow a healthy diet so that he can maintain his physique and muscular body. The food he is being given in jail right now is not giving him proper nutrition, due to which he is also suffering from diarrhea and other stomach related diseases.
