The alleged use of animal fat in Tirupati Laddu's ghee has sparked widespread outrage in Andhra Pradesh. The state government has pointed fingers at the Jagan government, while Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan seeks forgiveness through an 11-day Deeksha. A special investigation team is probing the case, which has hurt many religious sentiments.
Tamil actor Karthi's cautious comments on the issue at the Sathyam Sundaram pre-release event ignited a firestorm. When asked about the controversy, Karthi labeled it "sensitive" and declined to comment. However, Pawan Kalyan took exception to Karthi's words, urging him to think carefully before speaking about Sanatan Dharma.
Many feel Pawan Kalyan overreacted, as Karthi aimed to avoid controversy. Meanwhile, Karthi's apology aims to diffuse tensions and he swiftly apologized to Pawan Kalyan on social media, expressing his respect for Lord Venkateswara and Sanatan Dharma.
But, in all this issue, it seems Pawan Kalyan overstepped in his response to Karthi's remarks on the Tirupati Laddu controversy. Karthi's cautious approach, labeling the issue "sensitive," was intended to avoid controversy. However, Pawan Kalyan's warning tone has raised eyebrows. Karthi's decision to sidestep the issue was reasonable, considering the sensitivity of the topic. His choice of words did not demean the laddu issue or threaten Sanatan Dharma. It appears Pawan Kalyan misunderstood Karthi's intentions.
The real blame lies with those who brought up the laddu topic at the event, sparking unnecessary controversy. Pawan Kalyan's strong reaction has sparked debate, with many questioning whether his response was warranted. This incident highlights the importance of nuanced understanding and measured responses in sensitive situations.
This public exchange has inadvertently generated buzz for Karthi's upcoming film, Sathyam Sundaram, releasing on September 28.
