Actor Ajaz Khan is no stranger to controversy. From making provocative public statements to being involved in multiple public controversies over the years, the Bollywood actor has frequently found himself in the headlines.
Ajaz has also worked in several Telugu films, playing supporting antagonist roles in movies such as Dookudu, Baadshah, Nayak, Temper, Heart Attack, and Rogue. Recently, he appeared on a podcast with actor Shawar Ali, who is also familiar to Telugu audiences through films like Golimaar, Iddarammayilatho, and Bholaa Shankar.
During the podcast, the two actors spoke about their experiences in the film industry and recalled working with director Puri Jagannadh.
Both Ajaz and Shawar praised Puri as one of the finest directors they had worked with. They said he wrote memorable roles for them and had even told them that he would make them among the top villains in the industry.
Ajaz also recalled his time on Telugu film sets, claiming that stars like Jr NTR and Ram Charan treated them with great respect and even addressed them as “sir” during shooting.
However, the conversation later took a controversial turn.
The two actors made a series of personal allegations regarding Puri Jagannadh and actress-producer Charmme Kaur. They alleged that Puri’s relationship with Charmme damaged both his professional career and personal life. According to them, several top heroes gradually stopped working with Puri because of this, leading to the decline of a director who was once among the most sought-after filmmakers in Telugu cinema.
Ajaz and Shawar recalled a time when stars like NTR, Ram Charan, and Prabhas were eager to collaborate with Puri Jagannadh. They claimed that today the situation has completely changed. They further alleged that many people who were once close to Puri are unhappy with Charmme’s influence, claiming that she came from outside and gradually took complete control of both his professional and personal decisions.
According to them, Puri ended up destroying his career, reputation, and even his family because of one woman, Charmme Kaur. They also alleged that their own careers in the Telugu film industry went downhill because of Charmme.
The clips from the podcast have quickly gone viral on social media, with many users expressing shock over how openly the two actors spoke about such sensitive matters.
It is important to note that these are allegations made by Ajaz Khan and Shawar Ali during a podcast. Neither Puri Jagannadh nor Charmme has publicly responded to these specific claims. We neither confirm nor deny any of these allegations.
