Ravi Teja is being heavily criticized
Many people believe that it is quite wrong for the actor not to control such words in public. At the same time, some people raised questions on the actor's behavior that a star who does not even have basic understanding or etiquette of living among people is calling a minor 'Munda' and people are laughing at it. Which way are we going? Would Ravi Teja have liked it if someone had called his daughter 'Munda' in front of everyone the way he did?
A star without even basic common sense or public etiquette, calling a minor “Munda” and people are laughing at this. Wow, where are we heading?
Will #Raviteja be okay if someone casually called his daughter “Munda” in public just like he did?
