Inviting the couple of Prabhudeva and Nayantara for the South Scope Awards function was not a wrong thing but awarding them with the ‘Best Couple’ award is an unpardonable crime, this is the feeling which is being expressed by Tollywood observers. If they had acted in a film together, giving them the award would have been justified.
But without getting married, going against the society norms, strongly violating the Hindu code of marriage and ‘living together’, this act of Prabhudeva and Nayan, the pair getting the ‘best couple’ award in the presence of few noted elders, many are criticizing that all this is only showing the degraded levels of the ‘South Scope’ image. As such, Prabhudeva has not given a legal divorce to his first wife. If she files a complaint regarding this matter then the police will have every right to arrest both Prabhudeva and Nayan and put them behind bars. Many are feeling angry that the son of Allu Aravind, the most trusted and confiding relative of Chiranjeevi, a recipient of many awards including the prestigious ‘Padma Bhushan’ and currently the leader of the PRP and a chosen MLA, is running this magazine and resorting to such acts. With an objective to wipe out established names like Star Dust, Film Fare, the South Scope entered the field. But whether they will do that or not, they are surely wiping out the moral code of conduct and ethics of the society through their gestures and garnering a lot of criticism.
The final touch is that apart from Prabhu and Nayan, more than half of those who attended the function were ‘shady’ candidates. Boney Kapoor who gave a ‘nominal’ divorce to his wife and married the much younger Sridevi was seen at the awards. Then there is our very own Prakashraj who fell for the Bollywood choreographer Pony Verma and gave divorce to his wife. Also, the names of those who are making hot rounds in the affairs list ie Charmee, Devisri Prasad, Rana and Shriya were also participating in the event which is another highlight.
