Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's Global Summit in Hyderabad drew a mix of industry leaders and celebrities, including actor Chiranjeevi. However, a comment made by the actor has faced criticism on social media. During his speech, Chiranjeevi shared an anecdote about being invited to the summit while in the middle of a dance shoot. He stated that he was 'dancing with a girl' at Annapurna Studios when Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka and IT Minister D Sridhar Babu arrived to extend the invitation. Many on social media felt that the actor's comment was unnecessary and poorly phrased. Some questioned the relevance of mentioning a 'girl' in the context, while others suggested that celebrities should be more mindful of their words in public settings. Chiranjeevi, known for his recent roles in Waltair Veerayya and Bhola Shankar, has several upcoming projects, including Vishwambhara and an untitled film with Srikanth Odela. Despite the backlash, the actor's presence at the summit was seen as an opportunity to promote Telangana's growth and development. The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with some defending the actor's intention and others criticizing his choice of words. As the film industry continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how celebrities will navigate public speaking engagements in the future.
