Earlier today, a prank call between a college-going girl and Prabhas went viral online. The call was made from KT Rama Rao's personal mobile. At first, Prabhas answered the call believing it was from the political leader, but when he heard a young female voice, he didn't show interest in prolonging the conversation. The girl, on her part, doubled down by asking him who she was talking with. Another girl in the same room told KTR that she can't be expected to fall at Prabhas' feet apologizing for pranking him.
The video has provoked extreme reactions from Netizens. A section of movie-goers feel that the girls were mannerless. "What do they think of Prabhas? Didn't their parents teach them etiquette? How can you ask someone of his stature who he was?" This is the sum and substance of the trolling. A few fans abused the girls, while others opined that someone like Nandamuri Balakrishna is appropriate for them.
What on earth is there to feel offended about a harmless prank call? Not everyone sees actors as demi-gods. For many, they are just professionals who are extremely popular. It's not like the girls insulted Prabhas. If anything, by suggesting that they should touch Prabhas' feet for pranking him, it's KTR who spoke in a demeaning manner.
