A Telugu media journalist has been drawing widespread criticism for posing inappropriate and sensational questions to celebrities. Despite backlash from the public, she continues to justify her approach. Actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda has now openly addressed the issue.

During a recent interaction, the journalist asked Siddhu whether he was a “womanizer in real life,” referring to his character in “Telusu Kada.” Siddhu refused to entertain the question and made it clear that such remarks were unacceptable.

Speaking to the media today, he said: “It is very disrespectful to ask questions like that. I prefer talking about the film instead of arguing with media persons, even if some lack basic manners.”

He further clarified that there is a difference between fun banter and disrespect, and that a boundary must be maintained.

Siddhu’s response has earned appreciation online for his composed yet firm stance on media ethics.
