Telugu television actor Prabhakar has found himself in the eye of a storm following controversial remarks made by his son, Chandrahas. The young actor faced severe criticism after using inappropriate language in a promotional song, leading to widespread backlash from fans and celebrities alike. This incident coincided with the release of his film “Barabar Premistha,” which hit theaters on February 6, just as the trolling escalated.
In response to the uproar, Prabhakar acknowledged his son’s mistake and issued an apology to the public. He stated that the past four days have been tumultuous, with the public dissecting the offensive words used by his son, leading to a barrage of negative comments. “I agree that what my son did was wrong, and I do not condone the use of foul language in public,” he said, emphasizing the importance of maintaining decorum.
Prabhakar detailed how he had attempted to counsel Chandrahas after the incident occurred during a function where the song was performed. He explained that he called his son aside immediately after the performance to advise him against using such words publicly. “He agreed and promised not to repeat it,” Prabhakar added. However, the situation escalated as clips of the song went viral, leading to further condemnation.
The actor also expressed his frustration at how the situation was blown out of proportion, stating that while it is fair to reprimand someone for their mistakes, amplifying the issue has caused unnecessary harm to his family. “There were only a couple of inappropriate words in that video, yet my entire family has been subjected to hundreds of insults,” he lamented.
Prabhakar noted that many critics have made assumptions about his parenting and values based solely on this incident, which he finds unjust. He urged the public to consider the talent of his son, who has received praise for his performance in “Barabar Premistha.” “People who have watched the film have mentioned that Chandrahas has acted remarkably and displayed maturity,” he pointed out, defending his son’s capabilities.
While he acknowledges the hurt caused by his son’s actions, Prabhakar stressed that focusing solely on this mistake does not define their family’s values or his son’s character. He appealed to the critics to look beyond this singular incident and appreciate the talent that Chandrahas brings to the industry. “I ask for forgiveness from anyone who has been hurt by my son’s behavior,” he stated, adding that he hopes viewers will give his son a chance to showcase his abilities in the film.
As the dust begins to settle from this controversy, Prabhakar remains hopeful that audiences will focus on the positive aspects of Chandrahas’ career and the artistic endeavors ahead. He concluded by inviting everyone to watch “Barabar Premistha,” emphasizing the importance of supporting emerging talent in the film industry.
