Allu Arjun faces backlash after ‘stalk girls’ comment online
During his interaction at the fan club summit, Allu Arjun said, “I’ve been wanting to say something to my fans, anti-fans, and haters for a long time. Remember what I’m saying now, because I’ve been waiting for such an occasion. If you don’t like someone, don’t waste time hating and trolling them.”
He further added, “If you don’t like them, just let it be. Don’t waste even 1% of your time on them. If you had Rs 100, would you spend it on something you don’t like? Exactly, don’t spend. Spend time doing something you like. Go wait in front of the girl you like's house instead.”
The remark quickly gained traction on social media, with many users expressing concern that it could be interpreted as promoting stalking. As clips from the event circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms, several users criticized the actor over the statement.
One social media user questioned whether Allu Arjun had considered the influence he holds over a section of his fan base, suggesting that some of his fans would take such remarks seriously.
Another user humorously speculated that the actor might soon drop a clarification post that his words had been taken out of context and that he had not intended to send such a message.
