New Delhi:
On International Women's Day when the world is expressing the gratefulness and love for woman, here comes a news which depresses us to the core. TDP MLA and actor Nandamuri Balakrishna has allegedly made some very derogatory remarks against women.
As per a report, Balakrishna, who is also the brother-in-law of AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu said that he has to kiss and even make her co-stars pregnant on screen to satisfy viewers. "If I play eve-teasing roles, and just follow girls, my fans will not accept. Either a kiss should be given or they should be made pregnant. That’s all. We have to commit ourselves." said the actor-cum-politician at a public meeting.
The comment has been widely criticised and News agency PTI has reported that a FIR has also been registered.
“We have received a complaint against Nandamuri Balakrishna alleging that he made some vulgar comments against women at an audio release function for a movie held three days ago. We are seeking legal opinion on the issue,” Saroornagar police inspector S Lingaiah told PTI.
Wading into the issue, YSR Congress MLA RK Roja today demanded an apology from the CM and Balakrishna on the issue.
