Gossip and controversies are common in the film industry, but sometimes journalists can cross the line.

This recently happened during the press meet for the upcoming film Pottel, set to release on October 25.

NTR Responsible for Karan Johar's Downfall?

A lady reporter asked the lead actress, Ananya Nagalla, about the casting couch issue in Tollywood. However, the reporter didn't stop there. She continued with another shocking question, asking if actresses' salaries depend on whether they agree to sexual favors.

This has now prompted a strong backlash from the Telugu Chamber of Commerce, which condemned the reporter's behavior as disrespectful and harmful to the industry's image.

It requested the journalist to provide evidence to support these claims and promised to conduct a confidential investigation based on the evidence. If no evidence was found, the Chamber urged the Union to take disciplinary action against the journalist.

They stated that journalists should voice their concerns appropriately instead of making inappropriate remarks in public.

The Chamber warned that if such incidents continue, they will take strict action to protect the dignity and reputation of the Telugu film industry.

In response, the Telugu Digital Media Association is preparing to look into the matter and take appropriate action.

The incident quickly went viral, and the reporter faced heavy trolling for her questions. Many felt her approach was regressive and inappropriate, crossing the line of acceptable journalism.
