On Monday (June 24), Nagarjuna Akkineni's bodyguard pushed a disabled fan as he attempted to approach the Telugu star for a picture. Soon after, the videos shared by the paparazzi went viral, resulting in massive trolling against the actor. While Nagarjuna soon reacted to the incident and apologised for the actions by sharing a post on X (previously Twitter), Hansal Mehta's son Jai Mehta shared a lengthy post on X revealing that the incident "pissed him off" as his younger brother Pallava is mentally challenged.
Wrote, "I’d like to point out (I could be wrong. But I don’t think I am) that the gentleman asking for the ‘stars’ attention seems to be specially abled. Do they actually think a staff member/ employee at an airport who must be witnessing celebrities walk in and out of that very same arrivals gate at least 100 times a day would just barge into their personal space and nudge them for a look? The answer is NO! That man is clearly handicapped.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. I highly doubt I am." He further spoke about his brother Pallava and revealed that his brother Pallava has Down's syndrome and is a die-hard fan of Shah Rukh and Salman Khan.
True story. So my son Pallava is a fan of this massive star. I’d requested through his brother, his close friends at various times that meeting the star would mean the world to him.
And it would be my gift to my boy. When his eyes were operated the first person he recognised in..
