The recent floods in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have triggered widespread devastation, leaving thousands in dire need of relief. While many Tollywood actors like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, and Jr. NTR have stepped forward to contribute generously to flood relief efforts, the silence from top actresses has sparked significant controversy.

Actresses such as Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal, Sreeleela, Rashmika Mandanna, and others have not made any public announcements regarding donations to aid the victims of the floods. Despite their enormous earnings, often reported to be in crores per film, these actresses have remained quiet. This stark contrast between the male stars’ proactive approach and the actresses’ absence from the relief efforts has led to criticism from fans and the public alike
Many netizens have expressed their disappointment, particularly given that these actresses have built their fame and careers largely through the support of Telugu-speaking audiences. Social media users have pointed out that while these stars enjoy huge financial success in the industry, their lack of contribution during a crisis reflects poorly on their social responsibility​

In times of crisis, celebrities are often expected to use their influence and resources to help those in need. With massive fan followings, especially in the Telugu states, the expectation is that these actresses would follow the example set by their male counterparts and extend a helping hand.

At the heart of the criticism is the idea that stardom comes with responsibilities, especially in the face of large-scale disasters like these floods. The Telugu audience that has given these stars their fame and fortune is now looking to them for support, not just in terms of entertainment but in real-world crises as well.

As the discussion continues, many hope that these stars will recognize the public sentiment and contribute to the relief efforts, using their platforms to spread awareness and assist the flood victims.

This situation serves as a reminder that while celebrities enjoy immense love and support from the public, they are also expected to step up and help in times of need, showing solidarity with the people who have helped them rise to stardom.
