In the whirlwind world of social media, even innocent remarks can ignite unexpected controversies. Such was the case for Chandini Chowdhary, a young actress whose recent comment about her favorite IPL team stirred up a storm of criticism and misunderstanding.
During a casual interview, Chandini was asked about her preferred IPL team. Rather than giving the expected response of supporting the local Hyderabad-based franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), she candidly stated that Andhra Pradesh, her home state, did not have its own IPL team. This seemingly harmless remark was quickly misinterpreted, leading to a barrage of negative reactions on social media.

Some individuals accused Chandini of discrimination against the Telugu states, suggesting that she would only support an IPL team based on the caste of its players. This baseless accusation soon snowballed into a full-blown controversy, with memes and disparaging comments circulating on Telangana-based social media pages.“Chandini is from Andhra Pradesh and she would support an IPL side based on the caste of the players in the side. If there’s a side that has her caste players, she would support that side. But that’s not the case with SRH so she doesn’t own this side as there are no caste equations here,”they wrote.
Chandini found herself at the center of a heated debate, compelled to clarify her stance and intentions. She highlighted that her comments were taken out of context and reiterated her allegiance to both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In an effort to quell the escalating tension, she publicly declared her support for SRH, demonstrating her unity with the Telugu states.
