Football fans in Hyderabad witnessed a memorable moment when global icon Lionel Messi appeared at the Uppal Stadium. The event turned into a grand celebration, with thousands cheering as Messi played casually, scored goals, and interacted with the crowd. For many fans, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Among those present were Allu Arjun’s children, Allu Ayaan and Allu Arha. Their presence drew media attention, and reporters began asking them questions. One reporter attempted to provoke a reaction by asking Ayaan whether he came to watch Messi or Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Ayaan, however, responded calmly, saying he came purely for the experience and not for any other reason.
The video of this interaction quickly went viral. The question gained attention because of past tensions between Allu Arjun fans and supporters of Revanth Reddy, after the Pushpa 2 premiere stampede controversy. Many felt the TRP-hungry reporter was trying to reignite that controversy by dragging a child into a political angle.
Ayaan’s composed response, however, shut down any attempt at controversy. Social media users praised him for his maturity and for not falling into a sensational trap, turning an awkward moment into one that reflected grace and sensibility beyond his age.
