New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna has been facing massive backlash on social media after a video of him pushing away actress Anjali at an event surfaced online. Nandamuri Balakrishna was a chief guest at a pre-release event for Anjali’s upcoming film Gangs of Godavari<\/em>, which also stars Vishwak Sen and Neha Shetty. In the viral video, Nandamuri Balakrishna is seen pushing Anjali on stage after she apparently couldn’t hear him. Anjali’s co-star Neha was visibly shocked by the gesture but Anjali laughed it off. It’s unclear what Nandamuri Balakrishna said to Anjali before the push.<\/p>\n

While Anjali seems unfazed by the incident, netizens are criticising Nandamuri Balakrishna for his “disrespectful” behaviour towards women. One user commented, “It’s crazy how so many people give him a free pass by saying stuff like ‘it’s just Balayya.'” Another said, “A talented actress treated like this is unacceptable.” An X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “This is so humiliating what an arrogant person he is.”<\/p>\n

\n

Appalling behaviour by Balakrishna and an understandable reaction by the junior artist who laughed it off, but the most horrifying part of this video is the crowd’s reaction to a blatant act of assault, cheering and hooting in approval.<\/p>\n

A comment read, “An overrated , overactor, who doesn’t look good in any movie”, another one commented, “Sad that this is the state of the industry and it hurts that there is no transforming this. Won’t be surprised if there comes a PR spin on this.”<\/p>\n

For additional context: That actress has done more than 50+ movies. More than half of them as a lead. Sad that this is the state of the industry and it hurts that there is no transforming this. Won’t be surprised if there comes a pr spin on this.<\/p>\n
