42 rules to meet Allu Arjun? Actor refutes ‘baseless’ claims, initiates legal action
Allu Arjun had refuted claims of imposing 42 strict rules on a brand manager as baseless and reportedly initiated legal action, sparking widespread debate online.
Actor Allu Arjun has hit back at claims that he had a list of 42 strict rules for a brand manager, calling the reports “baseless” and confirming that legal action has been initiated against those spreading the allegations. The controversy started when brand manager Kaveri Barua shared her account of meeting the actor on the Swaykriti Talks podcast, which quickly went viral.
In the podcast, Kaveri, who reportedly works in Royal Enfield’s brand strategy team, claimed, “Before we met him, we had a note with 42 do’s and don’ts, don’t look sir in the eyes, don’t shake his hands.” He also described a complex chain of management, saying, “They have a manager’s manager’s manager’s manager. They’re very strict.” The segment sparked widespread discussion online, with viewers questioning the alleged protocols.
What did Arjun’s team say?
Arjun’s representatives wasted no time in responding. An official statement issued on Tuesday said: “Some of the recent comments made about Mr. Allu Arjun are completely baseless and false. He has always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and respect. We take these false allegations seriously. Our legal team is initiating defamation proceedings against those responsible. We request everyone to refrain from spreading unverified information.”
The team reiterated the message on social media, urging the public to stop sharing unverified content, while emphasizing that legal action is underway to address the claims.
Why is it making waves online?
The podcast clip attracted attention not only for the alleged “rules” but also for Kaveri’s unwillingness to elaborate. When pressed for details, he reportedly said, “What do I know? Aur nahin batoongi main (How will I know? (I won’t say anything else),” has many curious and skeptical about the veracity of his story.
Even after Kaveri deleted her Instagram and LinkedIn profiles, the conversation remains active on social media, with fans debating the said instructions and their implications for celebrity etiquette. Despite the discussion, Arjun’s camp insists that there is no merit to the claims and is committed to settling the matter through legal means.
