Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the popular South Indian actress, has found herself amid controversy due to her latest song “Aradhya” from the upcoming film “Kushi.” A few netizens on Twitter shared a screenshot from the music video in which Vijay Deverakonda is seen keeping his leg on Samantha’s leg. These users resurfaced an old tweet from 2013 in which Samantha had criticized a regressive poster, taking a dig at her and claiming that karma had come back to haunt her.
The old tweet, from 2013, involved Samantha expressing her disapproval of a regressive poster featuring Mahesh Babu and Kriti Sanon from the film “Nenokkadine.” In her tweet, she remarked, “Saw a poster of a yet-to-be-released Telugu film. Not only is it deeply regressive, but its point is actually that it is deeply regressive (sic).”
