Samantha Akkineni faces backlash for inviting Naga Chaitanya's fan after seeing his adventure

Actress Samantha Akkineni is facing the wrath of some of her followers after she evinced her interest to meet a fan of Naga Chaitanya, named Sagar, who climbed 1,000 steps on his knees in Tirupati for her husband's wellbeing on his birthday. The upset fans say that she has set a bad example.

Naga Chaitanya celebrated his 33^rd birthday on November 23 and thousands of fans across the world showered wishes upon him on this occasion. One of his die-hard fans walked up 1,000 steps on his knees to offer prayers to Lord Venkateshwara in Tirupati for his wellbeing. Along with his friend, Sagar tweeted a couple of videos featuring him performing this adventure on Saturday.

The couple, which is fondly known as ChaySam, was speechless to see Sagar's videos. In reply, Naga Chaitanya tweeted, "Don't know what to say naveen! Speechless.. thank you for this love.. take care! Sagar! Don't know what to say.. speechless.. thank you for this unconditional love! Take care.. all of you inspire me to do better."

On the other hand, Samantha Akkineni, who has climbed 3,500 steps in Tirupati for her husband, also expressed her surprise on Sagar's adventure. Going a step ahead, the actress invited him to meet her and Naga Chaitanya. She retweeted his post and wrote, "Thankyou... this is incredible.. speechless  please meet us  ."

Samantha Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya have millions of fans around the world. Most of them eagerly wait to meet them at least once in their lifetime, but hardly few get the chance. Sagar is one of those fans and he got the opportunity due to his adventure. Now some of her followers feel that her invitation will encourage some other fans to tread the same path. With this, she has set a bad example.

Some other fans upset with Sagar for his crazy act, which they dubbed as foolish. They asked him a series of questions to him. Will you do the same for your parents? How many times have you done like this for your mother and father? What if something happens to you? Do the celebs come to help your family? These are some of the questions faced by Sagar.

Fans' reactions to Samantha Akkineni's invitation to Sagar:

Please don't encourage these stuff, ask him to do for himself or for his family. when you meet him,  post the video across so others get the message. Thanks

Please dont encourage these type of activities, it will become habit for other actor/actress fans as well..Later it will become a publicity factor for actors.. stop this stupid activities in its initial stage only ...

abhiram @abhiburningbri8

This level of celebrity worship is not normal, its a borderline mental disease and should not be encouraged. This kind of endorsement on this big of a platform will inspire others to do even more extreme stuff to an extent where you can not control. I know u mean well but stop.

பூச்சாண்டி ⚪️ @poochandee

Then people start doing these stunts to meet you or they fake things and this will become an insult to the person who did it for you now.....Don't encourage in public mam. Thanks.

Sam this is disgusting. Plz don't encourage them it's not love of a fan it's pure ignorance. It is not the way to show his love. If he is chay fan then he should have done any other things. But hurting himself never a good thing.

Prvtweetz @praveen435

Why are you encouraging this by asking him to meet you. It would have been great had you advised fans against this kind of acts

Can you please ask these innocent guys not to do crazy things like this.

Sajid @sajferoz

There are better things to do in life.. Not sure if he does the same for his parents.

Foolish act if you are doing for a celebrity . I hope God will take care of you as you are in his presence ... Be kind and take care of your parents and family

Dasari PRAVEENKUMAR @dpk145

Bro, What if something happens to you? Do they come to help you r your family???? Please dont do foolish things. Who is chaithu to you? Just make your parents happy that will be appreciated but not these foolish things.
