Veteran Telugu actor Chalapathi Rao triggered controversy saying “women are fit only to be good partners in bed.” Speaking at an event of Telugu film Rarandoi Veduka Chudham that stars prominent actors Naga Chaitanya and Rakul Preet, Rao said women are fit only to be good partners in bed.
His derogatory statements came as he was asked to respond to a line from the trailer where Naga Chaitanya can be heard saying, “Girls are injurious to peace of mind.”

The remark instantly drew backlash and after he was slammed from all over the places, he tendered a hand-written apology. Here’s how Twitterati reacted over his remark:
