Rajendra Prasad’s Controversial Comments Spark Backlash

Veteran actor Rajendra Prasad has recently come under fire following a series of controversial remarks made during a public event celebrating filmmaker SV Krishna Reddy’s birthday. His on-stage comments involving comedian Ali, actresses Nirosha and Roja, and actor Murali Mohan took many by surprise and quickly drew criticism, particularly his remarks about Ali, which became the most widely discussed.

Rather than addressing the backlash with an apology, Rajendra Prasad chose to defend himself at another film function. In a statement that only intensified the controversy, he said,

“If you do not understand me, that is your fate. I cannot help it. If you find fault with me, it shows your upbringing.”

This dismissive response angered many fans and industry watchers, who felt that the actor should have accepted responsibility. While Rajendra Prasad had previously apologized for past remarks involving cricketer David Warner and indirect comments about the film Pushpa, he opted not to do so this time.

Some speculate that the actor, weary of public scrutiny, is now channeling his frustration toward the audience. However, many believe that blaming the very fans who have supported his decades-long career is unfair and disappointing. For many, his recent behavior contrasts sharply with the warm, humble image he has maintained over the years.

Adding a layer of perspective, comedian Ali released a video on social media urging the public not to judge Rajendra Prasad too harshly. He revealed that the actor has been going through a difficult period following the loss of his daughter, suggesting that his recent actions may be rooted in personal grief.

Those close to Rajendra Prasad are reportedly advising him to be more mindful during public appearances. Yet, his continued resistance to feedback and insistence on blaming the audience risks further damage to his reputation.

If this pattern persists, there’s a growing concern that the public may begin to lose the respect he has long enjoyed. As a beloved figure in Telugu cinema, it’s crucial that Rajendra Prasad reflects on recent events and takes steps to restore the goodwill he has earned over the years. Otherwise, this chapter could mark a troubling shift in his enduring legacy.
