While everyone around the world strives for gender equality, there are some people who really do not know the depth of it. Especially when celebrities have the power to speak in the public, they must only learn to spread good thoughts and deeds. However, popular Telugu actor Chalapathi Rao took media and Freedom of Speech for granted and spoke something that should have never been said. During a popular reality TV show, the character artist said that “Women are not injurious to mental peace, they’re fit for sleeping with men.”

However, one thing stays unambiguous – why did the anchor ask the question “Are women injurious to mental peace?” Is that even the right kind of question to ask. Oh, and the anchor was a woman herself. It’s high time such questions are encouraged in the name of Humour and TRP for a channel. The male anchor encouraging the actor’s comment immediately called it a “super comment”. Tollywood’s stars Rakul Preet Singh and Naga Chaitanya were also present promoting their film ‘Ra Randoi Veduka Chuddam’. While Rakul couldn’t believe what she heard, Naga Chaitanya was laughing.

While it isn’t clear whether their reactions were to this comment, or were edited into the video later, neither of them decided to speak out at the event. However, many actors from Tollywood took it to social media to express their anger and hatred towards the comment. Watch the video and comments below:

 

This did not go well on social media and fans to celebrities trashed the actor for his careless comments:
