Hyderabad: Actor and Hindupur TDP MLA Balakrishna came under fire for his vulgar comments against women during the audio releasing function of the movie Savitri in which actor Nara Rohit played the lead role.
"If I play eve-teasing roles, and just follow girls, my fans will not accept. Either a kiss should be given or they should be made pregnant. That’s all. We have to commit ourselves, the actor had said.
Balakrishna, a TDP MLA from Hindupur constituency in Andhra Pradesh, is the brother-in-law of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
"We have received a complaint against Nandamuri Balakrishna alleging that he made some vulgar comments against women at an audio release function for a movie held three daysago. We are seeking legal opinion on the issue," Saroornagar police inspector S Lingaiah said.
Wading into the issue, YSR Congress MLA RK Roja on Monday demanded an apology from the CM and Balakrishna on the issue. "While the top leadership itself has been pursuing anti-woman policies it percolates down the line resulting in the harassment of women at various levels and such government should apologise to the women community," Roja told reporters on the eve of International Women's Day.
