Venu Swamy is known as an astrologer and famous for predicting celebrities’ horoscopes, gained popularity when some of his predictions came true such as the breakup of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.
However many of his other predictions including those about election results and Prabhas films were incorrect, leading to heavy trolling on social media.
After his recent prediction that Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala would break up before their marriage he faced more criticism.
In this context, senior journalist Murthy was questioned about Venu Swamy’s predictions. Murthy asked Venu Swamy why he made horoscopes without verifying actual birth dates and zodiac signs.
In response, Venu Swamy and his wife claimed that Murthy demanded a bribe of Rs. 5 crores and even released a video saying they might commit suicide due to lack of funds along with an audio clip as proof.
Murthy then clarified the situation, stating that in his 30 years as a journalist he has never did this. He challenged anyone to prove that he demanded money and promised severe consequences if such proof was found, urging people not to be misled by the accusations.
