Anchor’s Slip-Up Causes Embarrassment
As Revanth Reddy entered the venue and took his seat, the anchor introduced him by saying, “Sri Kiran Kumar, the Chief Minister of Telangana, has arrived.” The mistake was immediately noticed, and Bala Aditya quickly apologized and corrected himself, calling the Chief Minister by his right name.
Social Media Reacts to the Incident
Though the slip-up was corrected promptly, the incident quickly spread on social media. Many netizens recalled the earlier controversy involving Tollywood actor Allu Arjun, who had also failed to remember Revanth Reddy’s name during a Pushpa-2 promotional event. This earlier mistake had sparked a political uproar, with Revanth Reddy criticizing the actor in the Telangana Legislative Assembly, especially following the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theatre.

Speculation About Consequences for the Anchor
The incident has sparked a wider conversation on social media about the importance of respecting public figures and maintaining decorum. Many are now speculating whether Bala Aditya will be subject to the same backlash faced by Allu Arjun last year for a similar mistake.
Despite the embarrassing mix-up, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy appeared unfazed and maintained his composure throughout the event. There were no further public remarks made regarding the incident, but the ongoing discussion on social media continues to draw attention to the mix-up.
