Should SRK's Comments on Charan Be Taken Seriously?

Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide news broke, Bollywood has been facing a lot of heat both from the media as well as the public. While some of it is rightly deserved, these trolls and comments on Bollywood actors have definitely crossed the limits after a point in time. Whatever they do is being criticized and every minute thing is being made fun of.

With South films getting pan-Indian recognition, the negativity over the Hindi film industry has gotten even bigger. A lot of unnecessary things are becoming topics of debate. Recently, the three Khans danced to 'Naatu Naatu' at the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. With them being unable to get the step right, they invited Ram Charan onto the stage.

Every celebrity was in a fun mood and having the time of their lives. In a light-hearted manner, SRK asked Ram Charan to come on stage and said some words in Tamil including Idly and Vada while inviting him. The video went viral and SRK is accused of showing disrespect towards South Indian culture and their heroes. People are even claiming that he disrespected Ram Charan.

While the comments were a bit offensive, one needs to understand the context and mood of everyone at that time. It was indeed a mistake from Shah Rukh but it doesn't need to be a huge controversy as many Bollywood stars have heaped praises on South heroes time and again. Also, some South stars too made some snarky remarks on Bollywood actors and work culture many times. Mahesh even said that Bollywood couldn't afford me at one point in time.

We also should consider that Ram Charan and Shah Rukh Khan share a good friendship. The 'RRR' hero is a good friend of Salman Khan as well. A small banter here and there with friends is what we do all the time but celebrities are cursed with cameras all over them every time. Many claim that there is no need to make a big controversy out of this.
