Chiranjeevi gets flak for ‘rudely’ pushing IndiGo employee out of the way at airport. Watch

After Nagarjuna and Dhanush, a video of Chiranjeevi at the airport is being scrutinised. The actor received flak for pushing a fan trying to click a selfie with him, out of the way. While his fans have come out in full force to defend him, the internet isn’t having it. 

Chiranjeevi receives flak

In a video shared numerous times, Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha are accompanied by ground personnel and step out of a lift at the airport. Soon, a man working for IndiGo Airlines approaches Chiranjeevi for a selfie and is ignored. When he still pursues the actor and stands in his way, he nudges him aside and leaves.

The internet was miffed to see Chiranjeevi not stopping for a selfie, while others believed no one was entitled to it. “Chiranjeevi Rude Behaviour with Fans Airport,” wrote one fan sharing the video, while another justified, “The ground staff accompanying him asked the man to step aside. Isn’t it wrong of him to approach a man who just took a long flight and is accompanied by his family? There’s something called civic sense, because Chiranjeevi is a good person, he just nudged him.”

One person wrote, “Mana abhimana hero em chesina venakesukoste ela mastaru. (Just because we like him we can’t justify it)” Another commented, “Vallu emi mana laga economy class lo raru. Business or first class lo vastharu with all amenities like home feeling or else charted flights lo vastharu inka luxury ga. (It’s not like he travelled in economy like us, he came in business or first class or a chartered flight).”

Similar incidents

This is not the first time celebrities have received flak for ignoring or, worse, pushing fans out of the way at the airport. Recently, a video of Nagarjuna’s bodyguard pushing a specially abled fan out of the way went viral, and people called out the actor.

He apologised, claiming he didn’t see what happened at the airport. Later, he met the fan and gave him a selfie. He also admitted that it was his fault what had happened.

Dhanush was also at the airport with Nagarjuna, and people demanded an explanation from him too, though one never came. They claimed that he ‘saw everything’ and asked him to react to the matter.

Chiranjeevi will soon be seen in Malladi Vassishta’s Vishwambhara, where Trisha Krishnan will be his co-star. He recently attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris with Ram Charan, Upasana, Klin Kaara and Surekha.

As the actress turns a year older, let's take a look back at her most stylish red carpet looks.  

Cannes 2024 look

Kiara's stunning look in the Nedo by Nedret Taciroglu corset gown for the gala event will always be a favourite among fashion lovers. The gown features a black velvet fish-cut silhouette with a train and a pastel pink duchess satin bodice. Embracing the 2024 fashion trend of bows, the Fall Winter 2024-25 collection gown also showcases an elaborate pink duchess satin bow. Kiara’s hairstyle was tied in a bun, and she sported dewy, minimal makeup. She accessorised her monochromatic look with statement diamond jewellery and black netted gloves.

Ice blue cut out dress

Kiara Advani often showcases her petite physique and bold fashion sense in cutout gowns and dresses. She stunned her fans by wearing an aqua blue cutout gown with a high slit, drawing comparisons to Disney princess Elsa. She finished her glamorous look with dewy makeup, winged eyeliner, and a neatly tied hair bun, creating a classic finish.

Black bodycon gown

For the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Kiara Advani radiated classic elegance in a stunning black bodycon dress. The dress featured a bold, deep neckline adorned with a beautiful embellishment and a small flower on the right shoulder. Kiara’s outfit made a statement on its own, and her choice of simple accessories—just white stone ear cuffs—proved that true elegance lies in understatement.

Gauri and Nainika floral gown

Kiara's flowy off-the-shoulder gown boasted a corseted bodice and a body-hugging fit down to below her waist, extending into a long skirt with a floor-sweeping train. The gown was beautifully adorned with floral details in shades of green, pink, and blue. Styled by Lakshmi Lehr, Kiara opted to forgo accessories, allowing the outfit to stand out on its own. She wore her wavy hair down and added a touch of glam with subtle eyeshadow, mascara-coated lashes, filled-in eyebrows, blushed cheeks, and maroon lipstick.

Pink jumpsuit for WPL

Kiara’s strappy pink jumpsuit for her WPL 2023 performance was a total showstopper. It featured a daring deep plunging neckline and was paired with calf-length silver boots, which seemed perfect for dancing. The halter jumpsuit extended into a backless design, making her ready to party from every angle. Her jazzy makeup elevated the vibe, with dramatic dark eye makeup adorned with rhinestones on the winged eyeliner and soft rosy pink lips, adding a fresh touch to her party look.

Red slit gown for Filmfare

For the Filmfare Awards 2022, Kiara Advani embodied red carpet perfection in a stunning coral strapless gown that exuded drama from the outset. The gown featured a long trail at the back and a thigh-high slit, adding to its allure. This is the kind of drama we gladly welcome. With her well-defined kohl-rimmed eyes, nude lips, and softly wavy, middle-parted hair, Kiara was a strong contender for the best dressed on the red carpet.
