Varun Tej found himself in a humorous predicament on Zee Telugu’s ‘Aata’ when Niharika Konidela playfully called him out for choosing wife Lavanya Tripathi’s call over hers. The incident sparked laughter and provided a glimpse into their family dynamic.
The Call That Started It All
On the Zee Telugu dance show Aata, both Niharika Konidela and Lavanya Tripathi tried to call Varun Tej and he answered only one call.
On a new dance show for Zee Telugu named Aata, Lavanya Tripathi joined her sister-in-law Niharika Konidela , who’s a judge on it. A fun game by anchor Sudheer soon turned hilariously dangerous for Varun Tej Konidela, who had to explain to his sister why he didn’t pick up her call.
Varun Tej’s Hilarious Explanation
Sudheer then makes both Niharika and Lavanya call Varun to see whose call he’ll pick. He cuts his sister’s call but picks up his wife’s call after one ring. When Niharika chides him for not picking up her call, he says, “I was changing his (son Vaayuv ’s) diaper.” When Sudheer remarks that he was quick to pick up his wife’s call, Varun says, “You’re neither married nor do you have kids yet, so you don’t know the problems.” Rambha and Anil Ravipudi were also guests on the episode.
Recently, Zee Telugu came under fire for inviting POCSO-accused dance choreographer Jani Master to the show with featured minors. He was invited as a judge during Valentine’s Week, and his wife, Ayesha, also joined him on the show. Numerous people took to social media to call out Jani and the channel for this move, questioning who the producer was who allowed this. The Telugu film industry was also slammed for offering him work in big projects like Peddi.
Zee Telugu Faces Backlash
Recently, when Chiranjeevi was criticised after the birth of Ram Charan and Upasana’s twin,s Shiva Ram and Anveera Devi, for his previous statement when he said he preferred a male heir, Lavanya came to his defence. “It’s my family. If somebody comes to my family, I will not like it,” she told the press later.
The playful banter between the Konidela family members provided lighthearted entertainment. However, the controversy surrounding Jani Master’s presence on Zee Telugu highlights the importance of ethical considerations in entertainment programming. Family drama always will keep people entertained.
