Actress Kasthuri, known for her work in both Kollywood and Tollywood, has found herself in the midst of controversy following derogatory remarks about Telugu people. Her comments have gone viral on social media, resulting in significant backlash and heavy trolling.
At a recent event, Kasthuri claimed that Brahmins in Tamil Nadu are being unfairly targeted and went on to compare Telugu people to foreigners who migrated to Tamil Nadu years ago. She suggested that, unlike Brahmins, Telugu people have not faced similar scrutiny, which sparked outrage among netizens who took offense at her comparison.
As a result of the backlash, some have called for a ban on the actress in Tollywood. In response to the growing criticism, Kasthuri held a press conference to clarify her statements, asserting that she did not intend to hurt anyone and expressing her appreciation for the Telugu Film Industry, which has offered her numerous opportunities. It remains to be seen how the public will respond to her defense.
