DYK Mahesh Babu fans once trolled Sobhita Dhulipala?
Wedding celebrations are underway for the Akkineni and Dhulipala families, as Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala prepare for their big day. The couple is set to tie the knot on September 4th at Annapurna Studios, following their engagement in August and a Haldi ceremony held recently.
While the Telugu film industry and fans are showering their blessings on the couple, Sobhita had faced trolling in the past. This controversy dates back to 2018, during her debut in Tollywood with the film . The movie received widespread praise, including a tweet from superstar Mahesh Babu, who called it “a crisp, fast, and gripping spy thriller.” He appreciated the performances, especially Adivi Sesh’s.
Goodachari is a very impressive attempt in making a slick spy-thriller in Telugu. It’s crisp, fast & gripping. Loved the performances of all the actors. @AdiviSesh shines all through. Congratulations to the entire team! 👏👏

In response to Mahesh Babu’s tweet, Sobhita simply replied, “Thank you.” However, some fans of Mahesh Babu found this response inadequate and disrespectful, leading to a wave of trolling on social media. The backlash was unexpected and widespread, creating a significant controversy.
Addressing the incident later, Sobhita expressed her surprise at the reactions. In an interview, she explained, “I was more confused than offended. It was just a ‘thank you!’ I have immense respect for Mahesh Babu. The episode was quite silly.” She also spoke about how public figures often face unwarranted criticism, adding, “Anonymity is misused on social media, and it’s disheartening when people try to break someone’s spirit.”
Over time, the misunderstanding was resolved. Mahesh Babu’s fans have now moved past the incident and joined others in congratulating Sobhita and Chaitanya on their upcoming wedding.
