Rio is facing both love and hatred from the followers of the 100 days show. Now, director Badri Venkatesh who is known for directing actor Atharvaa in films such as “Baana Kaathadi” and “Semma Bodha Aagathey”, came up with a social media post appreciating Rio for working hard to carve a place for himself without any background.

Badri said Rio came from a humble background from Erode and struggled to carve a place for himself. The filmmaker said that the former TV host doesn’t have any godfather to back him up. He also said that no channel is backing him up and added that Rio’s victory is a victory of a common man. He also believed that Rio represents everyone who struggle.

“A simple guy from an humble background all the way from Erode, struggled and still struggling to carve a place for himself. He doesn’t have any godfather nor any channel back him up. Rio Raj’s victory is your victory and mine. He represents everyone who struggle. #Iloverio” Badri wrote in his post before adding “Let’s shun negativity. Live and let live“
