The Telugu states have been battling relentless rains and devastating floods over the past few days. Numerous areas have been submerged leaving thousands of people stranded and in desperate need of help. In response, the government, political party activists, voluntary service organizations, and even ordinary citizens have come together to provide relief. They are distributing essentials like food and water to the affected people, using drones to reach the most isolated areas.
In addition to these efforts, several star heroes from the Telugu film industry have stepped up to contribute. Prominent figures like Junior NTR, Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu, Balakrishna, Vishwak Sen, Siddu Jonnalagadda, along with directors like Trivikram Srinivas, Venky Atluri, and producers like Naga Vamshi, Chinnababu and Ashwini Dutt have all made substantial donations to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Their contributions, amounting to crores, have been applauded by the public and have set an example for others to follow.
However, despite the overwhelming support from male actors, there has been noticeable silence from the popular heroines of the Telugu film industry. Actresses like Samantha, Nayanthara, Anushka, Rashmika, Trisha, Sreeleela, Kajal, Tamannaah, Keerthy Suresh, Nidhi Aggarwal, and Mrunal Thakur, who have earned significant fame and wealth through Telugu cinema have not yet responded to the crisis. This lack of response has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many questioning why these star heroines are not stepping forward to help.
People are expressing their disappointment, particularly since these actresses have earned substantial income and success thanks to the support of Telugu audiences. Netizens are urging them to donate to the relief efforts, pointing out that even a small contribution could make a significant difference.
The public is calling on these actresses to show their support and solidarity with the flood victims, hoping that they will soon join their male counterparts in offering help to those in need.
