"I don't know why they are doing it? It is a very personal matter and a personal issue. Now, you might say that it's okay but in hearts of hearts you will not want your daughter to do this (kissing somebody publicly)," she told PTI.
"Kiss Of Love" protest generated controversy in Kerala, the home state of the actress, and Karnataka where the police did not allow it to take place recently. The protest was marred by sporadic violence in parts of Kerala's Kozhikode district creating a tense situation.
Shobhana rued there is a fear among people to speak the truth on isues like "Kiss Of Love" because of the fear of distortion of their statements.
"Nobody is actually saying what they really want to. And, if somebody says something, then someone else distorts the statements and hence there is fear among people to say the truth," she said.
