Nandamuri Balakrishna, the actor- politician, has created a controversy by making obscene comments about women on the International Women’s Day, leaving many shocked and angry.
He was addressing the crowd at the Nara Rohit starrer “Savitri” audio launch function, where he said, “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.”
Nandamuri is brother-in-law of N Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, and besides, he is also an MLA of ruling party from Hindupur constituency in the state.
The video has gone viral on the Internet and what’s more shocking is that he has uttered these shameful words in front of two female actors, leaving them red-faced and insulted.

However, later he understood the mistake made by him and offered an apology with an excuse that he was speaking in relation to movies and that he respects women a lot. But till then, some lawyers had filed an FIR against him in Saroornagar, police station. In the words of S Lingaiah, the police inspector, “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.”
RK Roja, the MLA from YSR Congress has also taken up the matter and asked the CM and Nandamuri to apologize. RK Roja stated this while talking to media persons, “While the top leadership itself has been pursuing anti-woman policies it percolates down the line resulting in the harassment of women at various levels and such government should apologise to the women community.”
