Rajinikanth avoids talking on Tirupati Laddoo controversy

Super Star Rajinikanth refused to share his views on Tirupati Laddoo controversy. Rajinikanth Stays Silent on Tirupati Laddu Controversy, Pawan Kalyan's Potential Reaction Remains to be Seen.

Rajinikanth, known for his celebrated film career and his preference to stay away from controversial matters, remained tight-lipped when questioned about the recent controversy surrounding the presence of animal fats in Tirupati laddu. The actor was spotted at the Chennai airport where a reporter asked for his reaction to the ongoing issue. Rajinikanth simply smiled and responded with a polite "Sorry, no comment," a video of which is now circulating widely on social media.

This incident comes as the Andhra Pradesh government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged adulteration of ghee used in the preparation of the famous Tirupati laddu. The SIT, led by Sarvashresth Tripathi, Guntur Range Inspector General of Police, will investigate other irregularities related to the case.

While Rajinikanth has remained silent, the spotlight now turns to Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Earlier, Kalyan had publicly addressed actor Karthi, criticizing him for allegedly making light of the issue. In a stern post on X (formerly Twitter), Kalyan cautioned Karthi to be mindful of his words when addressing religious matters.

This incident stemmed from an event in Hyderabad where Karthi was present. During the event, the anchor presented a few memes, one of which was about laddus. Karthi responded by saying, "Ippudu laddu gurinchi maatladakodadu (we should not talk about laddu now), it's a sensitive topic manakoddadi (we don’t want)."

It remains to be seen whether Pawan Kalyan will address Rajinikanth's silence on the issue. The controversy has sparked widespread debate, with the religious sentiments of millions at stake.
