Controversy blows up: Teja Sajja Finally Clarifies

The Telugu film industry is a tough nut to crack as there is a lot of ego game going on here and everyone is bothered about their own status. So, there is a need to move amicably with everyone as there is always the risk of triggering the bubble built by fans.

In this context, young hero Teja Sajja who shot to fame with HanuMan recently made headlines after commenting on Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and others at a recent awards event. He touched on sensitive topic of Sankranthi clash between Guntur Karam and HanuMan. He even named Pushpa 2 as Pushpa too late for the kind of delays it is witnessing.

These comments caught negative ire on social media and became a hot topic all over. Now, Teja had to apologize for the same as he commented on this matter recently at another event. “I have worked closely with these stars right from a young age and I have a very close relationship with them.

Why would I intentionally hurt them with my comments? It was a complete and clear case of misunderstanding. It wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone” Teja clarified. But is this enough to pacify fans who have been firing on him for commenting on the likes of Mahesh Babu?

‘Bigg Boss 18’: Salman Khan calls out Ashneer Grover over his ‘dogalapan’

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be seen schooling entrepreneur and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover in the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode of ‘Bigg Boss 18’.A promo shared by the channel, showcased Salman bashing Grover. It begins with the “Dabangg” star welcoming Grover on the stage and then questions him about his infamous comments.

“Maine aapke baare mein suna hai ki aapne mujhe sign kiya tha. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai? (I heard you talk about signing me and mentioning all the wrong figures. So what is this dogalapan?)” Salman asks Ashneer.

To which, Ashneer replied: “Aapko jo brand ambassador kiya (I made you the brand ambassador), I think that was one of the smartest moves.”

It doesn’t stop there as Salman then bashes him more by saying: “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha (This attitude you are showing now wasn’t apparent back then).”

Grover claims that his words were taken out of context during the appearance in the podcast.

For those who don’t know last year, Grover had appeared on “Vagehra Vagehra” podcast, where he spoke about his meeting with Salman, which he had also publicly discussed before.

In that video, he had shared: “Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, uske shoot ke liye mila tha, usko brief karne ke liye company ke baare mein. Teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya photo nahi khichwani, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain.”

“Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (We wanted him to endorse our brand, I met him for the ad shoot and sat with him for three hours. His manager told me I couldn’t take a picture with him because he might get irritated, and I thought, ‘Fine, he can go to hell’).”
