S.P. Balasubramaniam was invited for an event organized by the Bharateeya Harikatha Vaibhavotsavam. Speaking in Telugu the legendary playback singer aired his view on heroines who wear sexy clothes to film events and functions and felt that they do that only to gain the attention of the heroes and producers to get chances in movies.

SPB added that the Indian culture is degraded due to the behavior of these heroines and even though he knew that he would be angering them he was also confident that most of them did not know Telugu and wouldn't even understand what he was speaking. The celebrated entertainer was trolled on social media for his comments and producer and Chiranjeevi's elder brother Naga Babu has slammed SPB stating that we are a democratic country and no one had the right to impose on them what to wear or what to do.
