Whenever there is a negative news about a celebrity, it attracts more attention from the media as well as the audience. If there is a positive news about the same celebrity, no one will care about it except his fans. It is a general tendency. We have seen several instances where Nandamuri Balakrishna's statements and his acts became controversial. We heard something good about Balayya from MAA president Sivaji Raja in the recent 'Jai Simha' audio event.
When the anchor asked him whether he is a fan of Balayya, he said..'Yes'. He gave a short and interesting speech. He said that "I know Balayya from the past 32 years. He has been showing the same affection to me even now. I'll not talk about this film, his acting etc. I will reveal the greatness of Balayya that I have never shared it with anyone. A small actor came to me and explained about his situation that he was suffering from cancer. Then Balayya is the first person came to my mind. Balayya usually sleeps at 9-9.30 pm. But the time was 10.30 pm then. I called Balayya and explained about the actor's situation. Balayya immediately told me "I'm coming" and he took us to the Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital. That's Balayya".
Needless to say, the auditorium witnessed a loud cheer for the Nandamuri hero when Sivaji was speaking about the other side of Balayya.
