🔥 “WHY DID YOU PICK VIJAY OVER CHIRANJEEVI?” — KEERTHY suresh GETS CORNERED BY A JOURNALIST & THE VIDEO GOES VIRAL
A harmless old comment. A loaded question. A room full of cameras. And suddenly, Keerthy suresh is stuck between two of South India’s biggest fan armies — all because she named her favourite dancer.
At Hyderabad’s Revolver Rita promotions, a simple media interaction exploded into an unnecessary controversy. What should’ve been a chill Q&A turned into a circus as one journalist decided to resurrect a years-old comment and corner Keerthy suresh right on stage.
The result?
Awkward tension.
Fan wars reignited.
And a reminder that sometimes the media creates drama, not celebrities.
Here’s the full breakdown.
1. 🎤 The Forgotten Comment Suddenly Returns From the Dead
Years ago, Keerthy was asked to pick her favourite dancer — Vijay or Chiranjeevi.
She casually said Vijay.
That was it.
No disrespect.
No controversy.
No headlines.
Until now.
2. ⚡ A Journalist Brings It Up at a COMPLETELY Unrelated Event
Out of nowhere, during Revolver Rita promotions, a journalist asks:
“Why did you choose Vijay over Chiranjeevi?”
Not about the film.
Not about her character.
Not about cinema.
Just pure fishing for controversy.
3. 🧊 Keerthy Handles It With Calm, Grace & zero Drama
She explains:
• She deeply admires Chiranjeevi
• He knows she’s a huge fan
• They regularly discussed his iconic films during Bholaa Shankar
Textbook poise.
Zero negativity.
Zero disrespect.
4. 😑 But the Journalist Pushes HARDER — And That’s Where It Gets Messy
Instead of moving on, the journalist insists she was wrong because “Chiranjeevi is a trendsetter in dance.”
At this point, it’s not a question.
It’s an argument.
And it instantly puts Keerthy in a no-win position.
5. 🔥 Keerthy Is Forced Into a Political Minefield
• If she doubles down on Vijay → Vijay fans cheer, chiru fans rage
• If she retracts → chiru fans cheer, Vijay fans rage
• If she stays neutral → Journalist keeps poking
This isn’t journalism.
It’s a trap.
6. 🤝 Keerthy Offers an Apology — Not Because She Was Wrong, But Because She’s Graceful
She apologizes to chiranjeevi simply to diffuse the situation.
Not because she disrespected him.
Not because she made a mistake.
But because she refuses to fuel unnecessary fan toxicity.
That’s maturity.
7. 🧠 The Bigger Issue: Why Can’t Actors Have Personal Preferences?
Picking a favourite dancer isn’t a crime.
It’s an opinion.
Art is subjective.
Taste is personal.
Choosing Vijay doesn’t diminish Chiranjeevi.
Admiring chiru doesn’t erase respect for Vijay.
Fans — and the media — need to understand that admiration isn’t a betrayal.
8. 📰 This Incident Shows How Some Journalists Manufacture Drama
Promotion events should highlight films, not fan wars.
But fishing for viral clips?
That’s what creates online harassment, twisted narratives, and unnecessary tensions around celebrities.
Actors deserve better.
9. 💥 Keerthy Walked Out Winning — With Class, Composure & zero Fan Offense
Her dignified response did two things:
• Avoided a Vijay–Chiru fan war
• Showed she respects BOTH legends
• Made the journalist look desperate
• Reinforced her image as one of the most graceful stars in the industry
10. 🛑 The Takeaway: media Should Ask Better Questions — Not Create Better Fights
Celebrities aren’t politicians picking sides.
They’re artists with personal tastes.
The obsession with forcing them to choose one legend over another is outdated, sensationalist, and frankly childish.
Let fans celebrate talent, not compare it.
Let actors admire whomever they want.
And let journalists focus on cinema — not controversy.
