  • Allu Arjun criticized over viral 42-point dos and don'ts list.
  • His team denies allegations and plans legal action for defamation
  • Podcast host Sweekriti alleges harassment and online bullying by Allu Arjun's PR

Telugu star Allu Arjun has been receiving backlash all over social media after Kaveri Baruah claimed that the actor had 42 dos and don'ts to adhere to. Allu Arjun’s 42 dos and don'ts list is also going viral on social media.

After Kaveri made accusations against Allu Arjun in a podcast with Sweekriti Talks, the actor's management refuted the claims and stated that the podcaster would face legal repercussions. Sweekriti now criticised the actor for harassing her on Instagram.

Sweekriti took to her Instagram story and penned, “I’ve removed the video after my guest faced coordinated harassment from PR machinery and bot accounts. She holds a responsible position in a reputed organisation, and I refuse to let her career be jeopardised due to online bullying."

Sweekriti continued, “The discussion was factual and professional, not defamatory. But protecting a real person will always take priority over engaging with power that refuses accountability.”

She concluded her rant writing, “Allu Arjun & his team are sheer losers & just power hungry.”

In a separate note, she claimed, “A woman can’t live in peace and make content on the internet!! Shocking Allu Arjun PR attacking me."

Sweekriti further added, “Well, abusing me, saying negative things about me can never pull me down. Keep going, bots. I finally understand what happens when people speak the truth."

Speaking on the Sweekriti Talks podcast, Kaveri Baruah, whose LinkedIn page has since been deleted, stated that she was formerly employed at Royal Enfield's brand strategy department. She asserted during the discussion that Allu Arjun's group followed rigorous procedures before meetings.

Allu Arjun Dos and Dont's

She said, “My another interesting encounter was with Allu Arjun, the mega star of Hyderabad. South stars come with an entourage. Before meeting him, we had a note which had 42 dos and don’ts. And they have manager ka manager ka manager. They are very strict, like ‘don’t look into sir’s eyes, don’t shake your hands.'"

However, Allu Arjun’s team stated on Tuesday and said, “Certain recent comments made about Mr Allu Arjun are completely baseless and untrue. He has always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and honour. We take these false allegations seriously. Our legal team is initiating defamation proceedings against those responsible. We request everyone to refrain from spreading unverified information."
