Nandamuri Balakrishna viral video: Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna is facing significant backlash on social media after a video of him pushing actress Anjali at an event surfaced online. Nandamuri Balakrishna was the chief guest at a pre-release event for Anjali's upcoming film, 'Gangs of Godavari', which also features Vishwak Sen and Neha Shetty.
In the viral video, Nandamuri Balakrishna is seen pushing Anjali on stage after she seemingly couldn't hear him. While Anjali laughed it off, her co-star Neha Shetty appeared visibly shocked by the gesture. It remains unclear what Nandamuri Balakrishna said to Anjali before the push.
Netizens' Reactions
While Anjali seems unfazed by the incident, netizens are criticising Nandamuri Balakrishna for his "disrespectful" behaviour towards women. One user commented, "It's crazy how so many people give him a free pass by saying stuff like 'it's just Balayya." Another said, "A talented actress treated like this is unacceptable." An X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, "This is so humiliating what an arrogant person he is."

Appalling behaviour by Balakrishna and an understandable reaction by the junior artist who laughed it off, but the most horrifying part of this video is the crowd’s reaction to a blatant act of assault, cheering and hooting in approval.
