From Folk Roots to Global Stage
Renowned singer Mangli, known for her journey from folk music to international prominence, is currently embroiled in sensational controversies. She faces accusations of a massive investment fraud and reports of drug consumption at her birthday party.
Mangli, whose real name is Satyavathi Rathod, hails from Basinepalli Thanda in Gooty Mandal, Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh. She grew up in Jeenigala Thanda, near Nellore, and completed her 10th standard with the support of the Rural Development Trust. Subsequently, she pursued a diploma in Carnatic Music at Sri Venkateswara University in Tirupati. Moving to Hyderabad, she gained initial recognition through folk songs before becoming an instant sensation with her ‘Matakari Mangli’ program on a specific channel. Her accent in the ‘Teenmar Mangli’ program led many to perceive her as a “Telangana daughter.” Climbing steadily, Mangli secured film opportunities and has now achieved star status, with her performances becoming an indispensable part of ATA and TANA events held in America.
Despite her rise to stardom, Mangli has recently been caught in a series of controversies, becoming a target for netizens’ trolling. Accusations have surged that she defrauded over 150 individuals of more than 150 crore rupees in the name of investments. While Mangli asserts she has no connection to these claims, the sentiment that “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” is widely heard.
Stardom’s Shadow: Fraud and Party Claims
Another significant controversy involves her birthday party last year. Mangli hosted the event at Tripura Resort in Oorlapalli, Chevella Mandal, Ranga Reddy district. Police raided the venue based on information that foreign liquor and drugs were being consumed, and DJs were playing music at ear-splitting volumes. During the raid, twelve men and ten women were found. Drug tests were conducted, with only one person, Damodar Reddy, testing positive. However, Damodar Reddy stated during the investigation that he had consumed cannabis elsewhere beforehand, not at the birthday party. Nevertheless, the police registered cases for organizing a liquor party and playing loud DJ music without obtaining the necessary permissions.
Following the incident, Mangli released a video stating that no intoxicating substances or foreign liquor were consumed at her party. She clarified that she was unaware permission was required for a local liquor party and would have obtained it if she had known. In conclusion, Mangli consistently denies the allegations against her. It remains to be seen how these controversies will impact her career.
Looking Ahead
Mangli steadfastly denies all allegations, citing permit unawareness and refuting drug use. Her journey from folk idol to controversy is stark. Can her undeniable talent and public goodwill truly overcome these serious accusations, or will this saga permanently dim her celebrated career? Only time will tell.
