Lakshmi Manchu slammed a journalist who questioned her dressing at 47.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Actor Lakshmi Manchu, who recently made headlines after being questioned by the ED in a betting app case, is now busy promoting her upcoming film Daksha: A Deadly Conspiracy, which will release on September 19. During a promotional event, the actress found herself in an unusual situation when a journalist questioned her about her dressing sense at 47.<\/p>\n

Pissed by this unusual question, the actress hit back and in turn questioned him if he would ask the same question to a male actor like Mahesh Babu.<\/a><\/p>\n

In an interview with Great Andhra, the actor blasted the reporter and said, \u201cWould you ask a man the same question? How dare you! How dare you ask me that question? Would you say, Mahesh Babu, you are 50 now, why are you going shirtless? Then how do you ask a woman the same thing? People learn from what you have asked me here today. As a journalist, be more responsible in the position you take.”<\/p>\n

As the journalist accepted that he wouldn\u2019t ask such a question to a male, Lakshmi cut him off and stated, \u201cI know a superstar\u2019s wife who is still in the industry. Even the films she was once offered have been taken away after her divorce because they feel her ex-husband might feel bad. She is waiting to do good work. A man will never face something like that; his life will never change. But a woman takes on so much responsibility. No one gives us freedom; we have to take it on our own.”<\/p>\n

Lakshmi Manchu is not the only celebrity under scrutiny; actors Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and Rana Daggubati have also been questioned in connection with the case.<\/p>\n

Why is Lakshmi Manchu in headlines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actress Lakshmi Manchu was in the headlines recently when she was questioned by the ED for a case related to promoting an illegal betting app.<\/a> Lakshmi, in an interview with Puja Talwar, said, \u201cYou know, it\u2019s an ED sit. I find it very humorous that our government will come to the tail end of the person. I\u2019m like, bro, look at who started it.”<\/p>\n

Lakshmi Manchu Work Front<\/strong><\/p>\n

The actress, who was last seen in the 2024 film Adiparvam, recently participated in Karan Johar-hosted reality show The Traitors India. Although her journey on the show was cut short after being \u2018murdered\u2019 in the third episode, Lakshmi continues to remain a prominent name in the entertainment space.<\/p>\n
