Celebrities on Nandamuri Balakrishna's action with Anjali

After the viral video via social media, a few famous people slammed Nandamuri Balakrishna, while several of them defended him. Responding to the video on X, singer Chinmayi Sripaada tweeted on Thursday, "One of the biggest problems that I notice from people sharing this 'Look at her laughing. She should have _____' 1. It is NOT possible to respond according to your spectator response as you watch this on your device. This most moral policing, holier than thou - pure as driven snow - Harishchandra /Sri Ramachandramoorthy or their relative incarnates will fail to understand."
She further added, “2. Society itself refuses to hold men in power who misbehave responsibility; Especially when they come from money, caste and political power. Don't come and tell women what to say and how to behave when you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.” Hansal Mehta and Nakuul Mehta too slammed Nandamuri Balakrishna.
