Telugu superstar Mohan Babu and elder son Vishnu Manchu have been involved in a bitter family feud with his younger son and actor Manchu Manoj. Now his elder daughter-in-law, Viranica, who is married to actor Vishnu Manchu, has spoken in an interview and said how this entire feud has affected the kids.

While their sister Lakshmi Manchu keeps to herself, at least in public, Mohan Babu's sons Vishnu Manchu and Manchu Manoj are in conflict with one another. Viranica spoke about it for the first time in an NTV interview, saying it had impacted their children.

“Every family has their own issues; it’s not just for my family. A lot of their issues don’t come out; unfortunately, our issues did. There’s nothing one can do about it. For me, my priority is my children," said Viranica.

Vishnu and Viranica are parents to four kids—Ariaana, Viviana, Arya Vidya, and Avram.

Viranica said she has tried to stay out of this feud just for the sake of their children, as it was affecting them the most. "I've always maintained that. I am like a sponge; I take everything. But my actions are dependent on my children. This whole crisis that we’re dealing with has affected my kids more than me. They were scared about what was going to happen. I try to stay away from all sorts of controversy; I step away from it. If my children have to be sane, I need to be that sanity for them,” she added.

While there have been talks about the Manchu family, in 2023 things got public and ugly.

In 2023, Manoj had posted a video of Vishnu allegedly abusing their staff. But later Vishnu had claimed at that time that this video was from a ‘reality show’ they were making called House of Manchus.

But later in the year 2024, Mohan Babu filed a complaint against Manoj and his wife, Bhuma Mounika. He said that he feared for his safety.

Videos of the incident also went viral, and Manoj had also said that goons had entered his house and attacked him. He also filed a complaint.
