Nandamuri Balakrishna is caught in a huge controversy after his recent remarks on the Akkineni family as he said “Akkineni Thokkineni”.  As a result, Akkineni fans have been breathing fire on him and calling for a public apology over his irrational comments.  

Now, Balakrishna has taken it upon himself to settle the dust surrounding the controversy as he interacted with the media at length. 

“ANR garu is a dear well wisher of mine. I fondly call him Babai. We shared an eternal bonding. My comments on the Akkineni family were taken out of context. Why would I ridicule a man who spread so much love for me?” Balakrishna said. 

Balakrishna added “ANR garu loved me more than he loved his own kids. Such was our bonding. I would never make a comment that would ridicule his stature. ANR garu is a forever favourite person of mine.” 

Balakrishna clarified that his comments were taken out of context and he doesn’t care about all the controversy as he knows full well that ANR holds a special place in his heart and that is all that matters.
