The pre-wedding festivities of Ananth Ambani and Radhika were held in Jamnagar, drawing attention for various reasons. Notably, Tollywood’s representation was limited to Ram Charan and his wife, Upasana. Their presence became significant amidst the Bollywood-dominated guest list.
During the event, Ram Charan, along with the Khan trio, delighted the audience with a lively performance on the Naatu Naatu song, which quickly became an internet sensation. However, the mood soured when Shahrukh Khan‘s remarks towards Ram Charan sparked widespread criticism.
Upasana’s makeup artist openly addressed the issue, expressing deep hurt over Shahrukh Khan’s onstage references to Ram Charan as ‘Idly’ and ‘Vada.’ The derogatory remarks prompted her to leave the event. This incident left many Telugu audiences disheartened.
It’s not the first time Bollywood stars have made disparaging remarks about South Indian cinema stars, causing friction between the two industries. While some may perceive such comments as light-hearted banter, they are often viewed as disrespectful by Telugu audiences and fans.
