Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s elder brother, Naga Babu, was appointed as an MLC by the NDA government, earning a respectable and influential position in the Legislative Council. However, despite holding such a key post, Naga Babu has largely maintained a low profile in active politics, making only occasional appearances instead of showing sustained political engagement.
At this point, reports suggest that Pawan Kalyan expressed his disappointment with Naga Babu while addressing the recent Jana Sena general body meeting. According to internal accounts, Kalyan questioned how Naga Babu finds time to comment on women’s clothing choices and remain active on social media, but not enough time to respond to serious political issues such as the Tirumala Laddu adulteration controversy and what he termed the fake narratives being pushed by YCP leaders.
Pawan Kalyan reportedly conveyed his dissatisfaction not only with Naga Babu but also with a few other Jana Sena leaders for staying silent during the Tirumala Laddu issue and for failing to strongly defend the party at a time when the YCP has been aggressively attacking the JSP’s narrative. He is said to have made it clear that he cannot shoulder the entire political responsibility alone while other leaders remain passive.
Reports that Kalyan openly pulled up Naga Babu underline his seriousness about strengthening internal coordination, accountability, and active participation within the party leadership. Interestingly, soon after this episode, Naga Babu shared a video on social media in which he described the YCP as an anti-Hindu party and sharply criticised its stance on the Tirumala Laddu issue, signaling a more assertive political posture.
Rakul Preet Singh on PR Culture: “Hard Work, Not Hype, Defines Real Success”
Actress Rakul Preet Singh has opened up about the growing influence of PR and marketing in the film industry, particularly highlighting how the ecosystem has changed over the years. Sharing her honest views, Rakul said that while PR strategies may offer temporary visibility, they can only go so far. According to her, long-term success is possible only when actors consistently prove their talent through hard work and meaningful performances.
Rakul expressed concern about the rising negativity, especially in the Hindi film industry. She pointed out that there is an unhealthy trend where certain individuals allegedly spend money to spread false narratives and damage the reputations of others for personal or professional gain. This culture of deliberately pulling others down deeply disturbs her. She questioned how people involved in such activities can live with themselves and whether their conscience allows them peace.
The actress strongly believes that negativity and malicious intent eventually catch up with those who indulge in them. She maintained that she has built her career purely on her own merit, dedication, and perseverance. Rakul said she takes pride in reaching her current position without leaning on aggressive PR machinery to stay in the spotlight.
Making her stance clear, Rakul stated that she does not depend on PR-driven hype to remain relevant. Instead, she firmly believes that genuine work and consistent effort should speak louder than publicity. She also expressed hope that the industry will gradually move towards a more positive, transparent, and healthier environment for everyone involved.
