The Women’s Commission warned him that making similar offensive comments again would result in severe legal consequences, issuing a stern warning to avoid such conduct in the future.

After receiving a wave of online criticism, he apologized and took down the original video, clarifying that his prediction regarding the couple was merely a continuation of previous forecasts. The uproar led to complaints from the Telugu Film Journalists Association and others.
