At the Hyderabad press meet of Dude, actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan faced an unexpected comment from a female journalist who said he wasn’t “hero material” and lacked the “looks” of a lead actor.
Displaying remarkable composure, Pradeep responded that he wasn’t offended and believes audiences connect with him because he represents the everyday common man. His calm and mature reaction quickly earned praise online.
However, the journalist’s remark sparked outrage on social media, with netizens calling it insensitive and disrespectful. Many pointed out that such comments reflect outdated perceptions of what a “hero” should look like.
Responding to the online backlash, Pradeep once again maintained his poise, clarifying that he took no offense and is accustomed to hearing such remarks. He emphasized that these opinions don’t affect him personally.
In today’s chase for viral headlines, some journalists tend to frame provocative questions, overlooking the fact that true stardom often lies in talent, relatability, and authenticity — qualities Pradeep embodies perfectly. His dignified response turned an awkward moment into a lesson in humility and grace.
