In his tweet, Chiranjeevi said, "I am extremely pained to see the disgraceful remarks made by an honourable woman minister. It is a shame that celebs and members of the film fraternity become soft targets as they provide instant reach and attention."

Chiranjeevi emphasized the unity within the film industry in opEntertainmentposing such verbal attacks, stating, "We as the Film Industry stand united in opposing such vicious verbal assaults on our members."

He further urged politicians to refrain from dragging unconnected individuals, especially women, into political disputes to gain points.

The tweet has garnered widespread support, with many applauding Chiranjeevi’s call for accountability and respect.
