When the topic was his ‘Jadalu’ in the movie, the actor stated that even women would look good in these braids and they should do it.
Pat came the response from a woman, who immediately said, “When you yourself haven’t worn the ‘jadalu’ for real, and wore a wig, how come you’re advising us to wear the braids for real?” The whole theatre was shocked by her strong counter; however, Nani managed to say that he would fake it as an actor, but they can do it for real, like how they will cry for real, while actors fake it on the screen. While this comment of Nani burst the whole auditorium into laughs, the girl further gave a strong rebuke to Nani.
“It’s tough and hard to wear braids, nose rings, piercings and other stuff like that every day as a woman”, she said in Kannada. Reacting to this, Nani felt sorry and stated that he couldn’t wear those jadalu for 1.5 years, while women wear it all their life, and empathised with them. Anyway, Nani was put in a tight spot for his comments today.
