Allu Arjun's Team Issues Strong Denial Over Viral '42 Rules' List
A bizarre list claiming to outline "42 dos and don'ts" for meeting Telugu superstar Allu Arjun spread rapidly across social media platforms, causing significant controversy. The fabricated document alleged that individuals should avoid looking into the actor's eyes and refrain from shaking his hand during interactions.
Co-Star Rajasekhar Delivers Powerful Defense
Pushpa co-star Rajasekhar came forward with a robust defense of Allu Arjun's character, posting a video on his official X account. "Pulling down a National Award-winning actor to feed an identity crisis is not right," Rajasekhar stated emphatically.
Having worked closely with Arjun during the four-year production of both Pushpa: The Rise and the upcoming Pushpa: The Rule, Rajasekhar provided personal anecdotes to counter the allegations. "During evening snack time, most stars send their spot boys to fetch food. But he would come himself, sit with the production boys, and eat at the same place as everyone else," he revealed.
Rajasekhar further described Arjun as a "true gentleman on set" who acknowledges and greets everyone, even apologizing when arriving late. "How can you accuse a man with such a heart of having a list of 42 dos and don'ts? All this is baseless," he concluded.
Origin of the Controversial Claims
The entire controversy originated from a podcast clip featuring media sales professional Kaveria Baruah on the YouTube channel Sweekriti Talks. During her appearance, Baruah claimed, "Before meeting him, we were given a note with 42 dos and don'ts. They have a manager for a manager for a manager—one big manager, then another who reports to him."
She specifically mentioned the alleged instructions about not looking into Arjun's eyes and avoiding handshakes, which quickly gained traction across digital platforms.
Official Response and Fan Support
Allu Arjun's management team issued a firm statement denying all allegations, labeling them as completely false and misleading. The team emphasized that the actor does not follow any such protocols and warned that legal action would be pursued against those spreading misinformation.
Social media users overwhelmingly supported the actor, with one fan commenting, "Mocking a star with 'Don't look into Sir's eyes, don't shake his hands' might get you clicks, but facts still matter." Another supporter declared, "Don't believe them! We stand with the Icon Star!"
The team expressed gratitude to fans for their unwavering support while making it clear that those responsible for the false claims would face legal consequences.
