Natasimham Balayya who made ‘Akkineni Tokkineni’ comments and tested the patience of Akkineni fans has finally responded after two days of constant debates on social media. The Hindupur MLA tried to give a huge explanation to end this issue once and forever.
It is a known fact that Balayya’s comments on Akkineni in Veera Simha Reddy’s success meet have sparked a row. While the fans association of Akkineni demanded an unconditional apology, the Akkineni young heroes indirectly asked Balakrishna to respect their grandfather via Twitter. Now the veteran hero finally opened up his mouth and declared that his comments were not intentional and claimed that he had nothing but love, respect, and admiration towards ANR. Terming his comments as slang, he stated that we call our favorite people singular and ANR was like his own Babai.
The Simha star added that many commoners call him singular whenever they see him in shooting spots and that only means one’s pure love and close association rather than disrespect. Finally, Balayya declared that ANR got more love from him than his own children Nagarjuna and others as he has only love from his side. The TDP-supported media which is trying to back up Balayya in this whole issue has now claimed the entire controversy is over while some hardcore fans of Akkineni ask what would Balayya lose to apologize to the one who he considers as his Babai.
