A recent video featuring actor Lakshmi Manchu has been making the rounds on social media. In the video, Manchu is seen visibly upset and slapping a man who interrupted her red carpet interview by walking in front of the camera. The incident has sparked a lot of conversations online, with people taking sides on whether her actions were justified.
Lakshmi Manchu has now come forward to address the incident, stating unequivocally that she stands by her actions. According to her, the man was fully aware that she was in the middle of a red carpet interview and still chose to walk through the camera’s frame. “I am an actor, you don’t come in front of my camera. Never do that with any artiste. He rightly got what he deserved,” Manchu said.
The actor went on to lament the lack of basic manners among people, stating, “These are basic manners that people don’t have. I slapped him and he deserved it. I didn’t go out of my way. He came into my world.” She expressed her frustration over the lack of awareness and etiquette among people, which she believes should be addressed.
Interestingly, the 45-year-old actor recently visited the new Parliament building in Delhi to witness the historic moment when the Women’s Reservation Bill, titled the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam,’ was passed. She took this opportunity to point out that there are many other important issues that need to be addressed, including teaching people etiquette, compassion, and awareness of their surroundings.
The incident has divided public opinion, with some supporting Manchu’s actions as a necessary response to a breach of professional etiquette, while others criticize her for what they see as an overreaction. However, Manchu remains steadfast in her stance, believing that her actions were justified.
As the debate rages on, it’s clear that the incident has touched a nerve on the topic of professional etiquette and personal boundaries. Whether one agrees with Manchu’s actions or not, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings, especially in professional settings.
