Manchu Lakshmi Slams Journalist Over Offensive Question జర్నలిస్ట్ మూర్తిపై మంచు లక్ష్మి ఫిర్యాదు
Actress Manchu Lakshmi, daughter of veteran actor Mohan Babu, is once again in the spotlight — not for her film alone, but for her powerful response during a recent interview that’s now gone viral.
As part of the promotions for her upcoming film "Dasha - The Deadly Conspiracy", Lakshmi gave an interview to senior film journalist VSN Murthy. During the interaction, the journalist questioned her wardrobe choices, asking:
👉 "You're nearing 50, why are you still wearing such dresses?"
This sexist question immediately triggered a sharp yet composed reply from Lakshmi:
🗣️ "How dare you ask me that? Mahesh Babu is also nearing 50 — would you ever ask him why he walks around shirtless? How can you ask a woman such a question in 2025? You're teaching the wrong things to your viewers. Is this the kind of question a journalist should be asking?"
Her bold response has won the internet, with netizens flooding the comments in support — "You gave the perfect reply, akka!" 💪🔥
But the controversy didn’t end there...
Manchu Lakshmi has now officially filed a complaint with the Film Chamber against the journalist, stating that the interview felt more like an attack than a conversation. She accused him of:
Body-shaming
Age-shaming
Failing to focus on the film or her professional efforts
💬 In her statement, she said:
"I’ve always respected journalism. But misusing that power to humiliate someone is not journalism — it’s cruelty disguised as content. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved as a woman in a male-dominated industry. But staying silent encourages more of this behavior. This must stop — not just for me, but for every woman."
She also demanded a public apology from the journalist and urged the Film Chamber to take strict action to ensure such conduct is not repeated.
