Nakuul Mehta calls-out Nandamuri Balakrishna's on-stage push behaviour: “Not one person expressed their discomfort”

Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna has come under fire on social media after a video of him pushing actor Anjali at a promotional event for the film Gangs of Godavari went viral. Actor Nakuul Mehta has joined the chorus of critics, labelling Balakrishna's behaviour as "ridiculous."

Reposting the video of the incident on Twitter, Nakuul Mehta expressed his shock at the lack of objection from those present. “Not one person expressed their discomfort. Not one. Ridiculous behaviour by the gent,” he wrote. His fans echoed his sentiments, with one commenting, “Absolutely pathetic,” and another noting, “He was drunk at that time in a public event. Such a gentleman…Imagine if that was a Bollywood actor?”

The controversial video shows Nandamuri Balakrishna at a promotional event for the upcoming Telugu action film Gangs of Godavari. Dressed in a white sherwani, he asks actors Neha Shetty and Anjali to step aside before abruptly pushing Anjali, causing her to stumble. Anjali, visibly shocked, tries to laugh it off while Balakrishna maintains a stern demeanour and later scolds her.

The incident has sparked widespread condemnation online, with filmmaker Hansal Mehta also criticizing Balakrishna by reposting the video and expressing his disapproval. Social media users have voiced their outrage, calling attention to Balakrishna's behaviour and questioning the industry's tolerance of such actions. Despite his ongoing success, including the production of his 109th film, Balakrishna's actions have led to significant backlash, highlighting issues of respect and conduct within the industry.
