In a shocking turn of events, Telugu television actor Chandrahass has found himself at the center of a controversy following the release of a song from his recent film, “Barabar Premista.” The song, which has been criticized for its vulgar lyrics, sparked outrage among netizens after a pre-release event where Chandrahass performed it. The backlash has been severe, with many expressing their disapproval on social media platforms.
The controversy escalated when journalist Ashok Kumar posted a video criticizing the language used in the song, labeling it as inappropriate. In response, Chandrahass retaliated by posting a threatening video on Instagram directed at Kumar, which prompted the journalist to file a complaint with the Madapur police. This incident has raised questions about the responsibilities of public figures and the societal values reflected in their work.
Psychologist Vishesh commented on the situation, stating that it is a reflection of the deteriorating moral standards in recent film promotions. He noted that such behavior is not merely an individual issue but indicative of a broader societal decay. “It is crucial to teach individuals how to conduct themselves in society rather than merely bestowing wealth upon them,” he explained. “Performing with vulgar lyrics in the presence of women is not an attitude; it is a lack of decorum.”
Critics have also pointed out the perceived failure of actor Prabhakar, Chandrahass’s father, to guide his son appropriately. Questions have been raised about whether he is merely a silent observer as his son engages in such inappropriate behavior. The dynamic between the father and son has been scrutinized, with some suggesting that the father’s inaction in the face of his son’s misconduct represents a failure in parenting.
In psychological terms, this behavior has been described as “Attention Seeking Narcissism,” where individuals seek to be in the spotlight, even if it means resorting to vulgarity. Chandrahass’s refusal to apologize has been interpreted as a facade to hide his insecurities, showcasing a form of arrogance rather than accountability.
The incident has ignited discussions about the nature of fame and success in the entertainment industry. Critics argue that a shortcut to success, achieved through negative publicity, does not equate to true achievement. While a film might perform well at the box office due to such controversies, losing respect and honor in the eyes of the public is a far greater loss, one that may take a lifetime to regain.
Veteran actors, like J.D. Chakravarthy, have also expressed their discontent with the current trend of behavior among younger actors. They emphasize that true stardom should be reflected in one’s character and behavior, not in reckless antics. The essence of education and art should be rooted in respect and culture, as both are rendered meaningless without these qualities.
As the dust settles on this incident, it remains to be seen whether Chandrahass and his father will take the necessary steps to rectify their behavior. If they fail to do so, the repercussions from the audience could be harsh and unforgiving, serving as a stark reminder of the importance of integrity and respect in both personal and professional realms.
