This came after it was alleged that the MLA had skipped the winter assembly sessions in Belgavi.

When Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was asked about the MLA's absence, he evaded the ANI reporter.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president Dinesh Gundu Rao, however, supported the MLA and said that besides being a politician, Ambarish was a professional actor as well.

"I think TV channels should concentrate more on important issues," Rao said, adding that to attend or to not attend a meeting was one's own decision.
