Hansal Mehta gave a befitting reply to the troll calling him 'Scumbag'. Yesterday, after the video of Balakrishna pushing Anjali away as they came together to pose for the media went viral, Hansal Mehta took to his social media and, while sharing the video, wrote, "Who is this scumbag?"

Hours after Hansal's tweet, a user took to Instagram and shared a picture of him kissing his wife. While sharing the picture on the social media page, a troll wrote, "Who is this scumbag in this Liplock photo @mehtahansal." As soon as Hansal noticed this picture, he quickly responded, saying, "Your trolling won't work… it's a man kissing his wife, expressing love publicly. Not pushing a woman, displaying misogyny in public."

What happened at the pre-release event of the Film 'Gangs of Godavari'

Telugu star Nandamuri Balakrishna got embroiled in a controversy after a video of him from the pre-release event of the film Gangs of Godavari surfaced online. He had attended the event as the chief guest. A video that did the rounds on social media showed him pushing actress Anjali on stage. The action led to cheers and applause from the audience present at the event. Anjali, on the other hand, immediately laughed off the incident. However, netizens deemed this act inappropriate and called out the Telugu star for his conduct.

Hours after the social media outrage, actress Anjali broke her silence on the matter. She took to her X handle (formerly Twitter) and penned a note highlighting her bond with "Balakrishna garu." She also shared a highlight reel from the event, which included the footage of her getting pushed by Balayya, as he is fondly referred to by his fans.

Anjali wrote, "I want to thank Balakrishna garu for gracing the Gangs of Godavari pre-release event with his presence. I would like to express that Balakrishna garu and I have always maintained mutual respect for each other and we share a great friendship from a long time. It was wonderful to share the stage with him again," she added.
