Sneha, a transgender person with a social circle in Tollywood, has acted in a number of movies in Telugu. In a recent YouTube interview, Sneha claimed that several Tollywood actors regularly reach out to Hijra community members for sexual pleasure.

"A comedian is well-known for that. He enjoys the presence of his transsexual partner at night. But the same person feels too embarrassed to talk to the trans person during the day. Such is the double standards of these people," Sneha said.

Sneha added that the number of Tollywood artists/actors who show interest in Hijra community members for reasons concerning lust is not small.

Sneha also claimed that a famous Telugu star was caught red-handed while having paid sex with a Hijra. The police let the star off after influential people from Tollywood used their network to get him bailed out. "As I am a part of the film industry, I can't divulge their names," Sneha added.

Sneha also said that many men in the film industry are homosexual in their sexual orientation.
