One of the social media shared the video and tweeted, "Appalling behaviour by Balakrishna and an understandable reaction by the junior artist who laughed it off, but the most horrifying part of this video is the crowd’s reaction to a blatant act of assault, cheering and hooting in approval." Another person commented, "For additional context: That actress has done more than 50+ movies. More than half of them as lead. Sad that this is the state of the industry and it hurts that there is no transforming this. Won't be surprised if there comes a pr spin on this."
Some people demanded that he should be arrested for assaulting the actress, another said, "What more to expect from cheap misogynist Indians who love those cheap movies too." “This man is a superstar, a successful politician and he’s on stage being cheered as he pushes a woman co-star… Balayya is a serial offender and never changes," said another person.
