Backlash over Chiranjeevi comments at TS Global Summit

Telangana Government headed by CM Revanth Reddy organised prestigious global summit at the Future City, Hyderabad. Many international and national celebrities and business icons from across the world attended the event.

The summit also witnessed Tollywood celebrities at the event. Mega Star Chiranjeevi graced the event and shared his thoughts but few of his comments are now getting trolled by the netizens.

Chiranjeevi at the event said , “You may feel that every other chief guest present here belongs to fields such as finance, automobile, or politics. You might feel like, what is a film star like Chiranjeevi doing here? Not just you, even I feel that way.”

Chiranjeevi stated that CM Revanth was insistent that he come and had sent Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka and IT Minister D Sridhar Babu to invite him. He added, “Do you know what position I was in when they came to invite me? Evaro ammai to dance chestu unnanu Annapurna Studios lo (I was dancing with some girl at Annapurna Studios). I felt very awkward. I had to ask them to stop shooting for a while.”

Netizens reacted in the following way.

One X user wrote, “He has completely lost his senses. Bringing up a ‘girl’ topic was totally unnecessary here. He could have simply said he was in a shooting.”

Another wrote, “At some point of time we should stop inviting celebrities who cannot have control on words to this kind of submit.” An X user commented, “I think when we grow up we lose control on choice of words.” One pointed out, “ni profession ni nuv cheyadaniki ibbandhi enduku....dance ae kada chesedi (What is there to feel awkward about dancing in your profession?)”

“Global Summit lo evi kuda cheptharaa (We say such things at a global summit too),” wrote one, while another commented, “Yakada emi matladalo teliyakapote yala boss (How come you don’t know what to talk about and when, Boss?)”
