‘Allu Arjun & His Team Are Sheer Losers’: Podcaster Takes Down ’42 Do’s & Don’ts’ Video After Guest Faces Harassment
Allu Arjun faced severe criticism after Kaveri Baruah, a guest on the podcast titled ‘Sweekriti Talks’, shared that the “Pushpa 2” star had a list of 42 dos and don’ts that those desirous of meeting him had to strictly adhere to.
However, the actor’s team was quick to deny the allegations and said that legal action would be taken against the podcaster.
And now, as Sweekriti, the podcaster, has taken down the video and slammed the actor for harassment. “I’ve removed the video after my guest faced coordinated harassment from PR machinery and bot accounts. She holds a responsible position in a reputable organization, and I refuse to let her career be jeopardized due to online bullying," she wrote on her Instagram Story.

“The discussion was factual and professional, not defamatory. But protecting a real person will always take priority over engaging with power that refuses accountability," Sweekriti added.
Lashing out at the actor, she concluded, “Allu Arjun & his team are sheer losers & just power-hungry."
In another note, the podcaster claimed, “A woman can’t live in peace and make content on the internet!! Shocking Allu Arjun PR attacking me. Well, abusing me, saying negative things about me can never pull me down. Keep going, bots. I finally understand what happens when people speak the truth."
In the podcast, Kaveri Baruah, who previously worked in Royal Enfield’s brand strategy department, as per her now-deleted LinkedIn profile, spoke about Allu Arjun and his entourage and claimed that the actor’s team maintains strict protocols ahead of meetings.
“Another interesting encounter was with Allu Arjun, the mega star of Hyderabad. South stars come with their entourage. Before meeting him, we had a note which had 42 dos and don’ts. And they have manager ka manager ka manager. They are very strict, like ‘don’t look into sir’s eyes, don’t shake your hands’," Kaveri shared.
However, the actor’s team issued a statement of denial, which read, “Certain recent comments made about Mr. Allu Arjun are completely baseless and untrue. He has always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and honor. We take these false allegations seriously. Our legal team is initiating defamation proceedings against those responsible. We request everyone to refrain from spreading unverified information."
