Nandamuri Balakrishna pushes actress Anjali at Gangs of Godavari event; Hansal Mehta slams him as a 'scumbag'

Take a look at the event pic of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Anjali

Nandamuri Balakrishna aka Balayya is one of the most loved senior stars of the Telugu film industry. He was the chief guest at the Gangs of Godavari event held in Hyderabad. He took to the stage, which was already a bit crowded. The two actresses Neha Shetty and Anjali were on stage. Nandamuri wanted to stand, and there is a video where he is seen pushing actress Anjali. It looks like he wanted some space, but the manner in which he pushed her has left netizens fuming. Many feel it is absolutely unbecoming coming from a veteran like him. Now, Anjali apparently knows Nandamuri Balakrishna quite well. 

This is the viral video of the event

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has angrily called him a scumbag on social media. The actress is seen laughing off the matter but netizens believe she did not out of respect and fear. As we know, hierarchy does matter in the industry. As per social media, the sad part is that people are clapping and hooting for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s behavior. There is one more video of Nandamuri Balakrishna with a water bottle but apparently it is an edited one.

Another side of the story

Netizens agree with Hansal Mehta

Gangs Of Godavari has Vishwak Sen, Neha Shetty and Anjali in lead roles. Ayesha Khan is doing a special dance number. Nandamuri Balakrishna is the son of NT Rama Rao, the former CM of the state and one of the biggest matinee idols of Telugu cinema. He is also into politics. This incident has again stirred the Bollywood Vs South debate. People said that no Hindi movie actor would ever do such a thing on camera.  People feel the actress should have taken a strong stand for herself. In fact, many said what he did is totally indefensible. The actor has a number of projects lined up. His next NBK 109 is coming in September 2024. It is made by KS Ravinder aka Bobby.
