Actor Sai Dharam Tej, closely related to the prominent Konidela-Allu family, has recently caused a stir among fans by unfollowing his cousin Allu Arjun and Arjun’s wife, Sneha Reddy, on social media platforms X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. This unexpected move has led to a flurry of speculation and reactions from fans.
Social Media Unfollowing Sparks Fan Reactions
Fans first noticed the social media activity on the day of Pawan Kalyan’s swearing-in ceremony as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Eagle-eyed fans quickly pointed out that Sai Dharam Tej had unfollowed Allu Arjun and Sneha Reddy, but continues to follow only Allu Sirish from the Allu family. Screenshots began circulating, with fans expressing their surprise and disbelief.
Comments on social media highlighted the situation, with one fan noting, “Actor #SaiDharamTej unfollowed #AlluArjun on Instagram & Twitter,” while another commented, “Actor #SaiDharamTej has unfollowed both #AlluArjun and #SnehaReddy on social media, instead following only #AlluSirish.”
A source close to the family revealed that Sai Dharam Tej had not followed Allu Arjun and Sneha Reddy for a while. This source mentioned, “It’s only now that people noticed that Sai hasn’t been following Arjun and Sneha when he unfollowed them soon after the elections.” Despite the buzz, neither the actors’ teams nor the source provided further details.
Allu Arjun’s Neutral Political Stance
Amidst the social media drama, Allu Arjun has maintained a neutral political stance. After Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party (JSP) won the elections in Andhra Pradesh, Allu Arjun was notably absent from both the swearing-in ceremony and family celebrations in Hyderabad. Although he tweeted in support of his uncle Pawan Kalyan before the elections, he also supported YSRCP constituency candidate S Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, his friend, and father-in-law.
Clarifying his position, Allu Arjun stated, “Firstly, I want to clarify that I’m not affiliated with any political party. I remain neutral and support my people, regardless of their political affiliations. This includes my uncle Pawan Kalyan, whom I’ll always stand by, along with my friend Ravi and my father-in-law, Mr. Reddy. I made a promise to my friend, Mr. Ravi, to support him, but I couldn’t fulfill it last time. To keep my word, this time I went to Nandyal to support him.”
