One of the biggest stars of Telugu cinema, Chiranjeevi, has once again come under social media scrutiny after a video clip of him from a recent event in Telangana went viral. The actor is facing backlash on social media for his recent comment at the Telangana Rising Global Summit. The actor was seen attending the event alongside NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery and industrialist Anand Mahindra. 

What Chiranjeevi said

During his speech at the event, Chiranjeevi said that he was invited to the event while he was "dancing with a girl" at Annapurna Studios. Chiranjeevi, in his speech, said, “You may feel that every other chief guest present here belongs to fields such as finance, automobile, or politics. You might feel like, what is a film star like Chiranjeevi doing here? Not just you, even I feel that way.”
