Megastar Chiranjeevi has faced backlash after a video of him shoving an airline attendant away went viral on social media. In an undated video, Chiranjeevi and his wife, Surekha, walk out of the lift. At that moment, an airline staff member approached him and asked for a selfie. He was observed shoving him, and he received criticism from all sides. In the viral footage, Chiranjeevi first disregards an airline staff who approaches him. The man attempts again to take a photo, but Chiranjeevi pulls him away, grabbing everyone’s attention.
While some Chiranjeevi supporters backed him, others chastised him for disrespecting a staff member.

Here are some comments
Just because #Chiranjeevi is a decent man, even after having hectic flight journey, he simply pushed the person for constantly bothering him for a selfie.
But if there was another star at that place, he would have shot him with his gun or would’ve thrown his phone. pic.twitter.com/i9iBaFZFXJ

While the video left many angry, fans of the megastar supported him. One fan wrote, “It looks rude but don’t people have some sense to let them alone have their own time. Atleast they have to ask them before taking a pic with them. He might be in hurry who knows or he might be frustrated so he just wanted to walk away.”

Another wrote, “He should have asked for it. Do not force celebrities; they are human too. We watch movies for entertainment; we do not give away money like charity. Chiru has saved the lives of thousands through his charity. He is always an inspiration.”

A few months ago, actor Nagarjuna apologised when his bodyguard shoved a disabled fan at an airport. The ‘Manmadhudu’ actor said he was ignorant of the occurrence and apologised. Dhanush and his boys were with Nagarjuna when the tragedy occurred.
Later, Nagarjuna met the fan at the airport and posed for a photo outside.
This just came to my notice … this shouldn’t have happened!!
