South Indian Stars Criticized for Lack of Humility by Paparazzo
Mumbai-based photographer Varinder Chawla has stirred controversy by calling out South Indian actors Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR, and Vijay Deverakonda for their alleged lack of humility compared to their social media personas. This has sparked a debate on the authenticity of celebrities in the film industry.
In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Varinder claimed that these South Indian stars often portray a humble and innocent image for the camera, but their real behavior tells a different story. He recounted an incident where a prominent actor wore slippers during a film promotion to feign humility, and when asked about Vijay Deverakonda, Varinder confirmed the actor’s similar behavior.
Furthermore, Varinder shared an anecdote about a well-known South star losing his cool and snapping at a team member, indicating a departure from his usual calm demeanor. While he did not explicitly name Jr. NTR, the incident raised questions about the authenticity of these stars’ public personas.
The photographer also criticized Mahesh Babu for a past statement where he claimed that Telugu stars do not need Bollywood and that the industry cannot afford him. Despite Mahesh Babu’s subsequent apology and clarification that his words were taken out of context, Varinder remained skeptical of the actor’s genuineness.
In contrast, Varinder praised Bollywood stars for their authenticity in front of the camera, highlighting a perceived difference in behavior between South Indian and Bollywood celebrities. This controversy has reignited discussions about humility and authenticity in the Indian film industry, prompting fans to question the true nature of their favorite stars.
As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these actors will address the allegations and whether they can uphold their public image in the face of scrutiny.
