Natasimham’s Rare Bow Stuns Fans
Balayya’s Massive Gesture: Natasimham shocks by bowing to a senior actress’s feet! Fans are thrilled by this sensational news about Nandamuri Balakrishna, which is now going viral. Balayya Babu’s unexpected act of bowing to the feet of a senior actress has surprised everyone, sparking widespread discussion. Usually, Balakrishna has never bowed to anyone’s feet except his parents, nor has he ever been seen doing so. While a video of him bowing to his sisters’ feet on Rakhi had gone viral in the past, Balayya Babu generally greets everyone very politely with a smile and a namaskaram, regardless of age. Balakrishna, who often appears very serious, typically interacts intimately only with those he knows well. In fact, he is known to admonish those who try to bow to his feet, famously telling them, “Do not bow to anyone’s feet except your parents.” It is in this context that a recent video of the Natasimham bowing to the feet of veteran Bollywood actress Hema Malini has surfaced, astonishing fans and becoming a hot topic.
This surprising incident occurred during the ‘International Film Festival of Delhi 2026’ celebrations, which grandly commenced on Wednesday evening in the nation’s capital. Balakrishna was present to receive a national ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award, recognizing his significant contribution to the Indian film industry over a career spanning more than 50 years. This prestigious event took place at Delhi’s famous ‘Bharat Mandapam,’ where Balayya received the award from Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. It was at this very event that Balayya was captured on video bowing to Hema Malini’s feet. In the viral footage, Hema Malini is seen affectionately greeting Balakrishna, who stands respectfully before bowing to her feet.
Hema Malini, a revered figure in Indian cinema, began her career in the South before becoming a prominent star in Bollywood. She achieved widespread success, notably starring in many successful films with Dharmendra, whom she later married. Their children have also made their mark in the industry.
Viral Moment: Hema Malini Honored
As the video rapidly circulated online, it sparked numerous comments on social media. Netizens expressed their surprise, with many remarking, “Is that really Balayya we’re seeing with our own eyes?”
Currently, Balayya remains a formidable presence in Tollywood, riding on a wave of recent successes. Although his ‘Akhanda’ sequel, released amidst high expectations, did not achieve the massive hit status anticipated, he is reportedly planning his next project with Malineni Gopichand, following their super hit collaboration ‘Veera Simha Reddy.’ While Balakrishna takes a short break from films, the video of his unexpected gesture towards Hema Malini continues to generate considerable buzz online.
Looking Ahead
Balayya’s unexpected gesture adds a fascinating, human dimension to his Natasimham image. While the online buzz highlights this rare display of humility, fans know this break is just a prelude. Expect the legend to return roaring, proving his stature is formidable, both on and off screen, and always captivating.
