Clashes Between Bhuma and Gangula Followers in Allagadda | Mounika Reddy Hospitalized

A recent remark by C. V. Shanmugam has triggered widespread criticism on social media. The comment was made during a protest held in Villupuram, organised by the AIADMK to condemn the DMK government over its handling of rising sexual assault cases in the state.

While addressing the gathering, Shanmugam referred to actress Nayanthara in response to Chief Minister M. K. Stalin’s statement encouraging people to dream and share their aspirations. He questioned whether the government would fulfil any dream expressed by the public, adding that if someone said their dream was to marry Nayanthara, would the Chief Minister make that happen.

The remark quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from netizens. Many users called it inappropriate and disrespectful to bring a film personality into a political speech, especially considering that Nayanthara is married and has children. Several also urged the actress to respond publicly to the comment.

So far, Nayanthara has not reacted to the controversy. Meanwhile, she continues to focus on her professional commitments, with a busy slate of upcoming films including Mookuthi Amman 2, Toxic, and NBK 111, among others.
