Jayashree Venketaramanan, a television actress, has defended Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu’s remarks regarding working in Bollywood.
She says: “Mahesh Babu is one of my favourite actors.
I am aware of and comprehend Mahesh Babu’s cult following. In reality, the majority of us are aware that Rajnikanth sir is idolised. I’ve seen folks keep Rajnikanth’s picture next to their Gods at home; tell me who would want to leave such a place; can money purchase anything? So, forget Mahesh Babu, Bollywood, and even Hollywood can’t afford Rajnikanth in that sense.”
She adds: “Well if you ask me, I’d like to say that I have seen Mahesh Babu’s interviews in the past too and have never thought that he was arrogant in any manner. Even in his most recent interview, he began by saying, “This might sound arrogant, but I don’t think Bollywood can afford me,” I believe what he meant was that the kind of stardom and love he receives there is incomparable and unquantifiable in terms of money, and who would want to go somewhere else and start over? He is a modest individual.”
A recent interview in which Mahesh Babu stated that Bollywood cannot afford him aroused debate. Jayashree considers himself a modest individual. Jayashree rose to prominence after starring in the famous television serial ‘Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha,’ and has also appeared in series such as ‘Beend Banoongaa Ghodi Chadhunga’ and ‘Zindagi Khatti Meethi.’
