He said, “Vizag is so close to my heart that I fell in love with a Vizag girl and married her. Now, even at home, the ruling party is Vizag.” He playfully added that Thandel should be a blockbuster at the Vizag box office to maintain his “honor” at home.
Samantha’s fans were quick to react to Naga Chaitanya’s statement. They expressed disbelief, questioning how he could be so heartless.
