Kaushal Manda, the Bigg Boss-2 title winner, has on Thursday held a press meet to counter the allegations against him.  A few ex-Kaushal Army fellows recently alleged that Kaushal doesn't have any respect for Pawan Kalyan although he pretends to be his fan.  

"My energy, power and attitude in the Big Boss house were because of my admiration for Pawan Kalyan garu.  I simply followed his example.  I used to jog with him in the mornings during 'Tammudu', etc.  I have tried to meet Pawan Kalyan garu so many times through his PA, Hari Prasad.  I am mad about him.  I am waiting for an appointment with him.  I want to tell him that I won the Bigg Boss title only by aping his attitude.  He has always been my inspiration.  It's not about the fans of Mahesh Babu garu and NTR garu supporting me.  Mahesh garu has given me life by helping me establish a modelling agency," Kaushal said.   

"The person spreading canards against me that I once derided Pawan Kalyan garu is doing everything for publicity.  Kalyan Sunkara garu, Jana Sena's spokesperson, has supported me on the issue.  He has said that I have complete respect for Pawan Kalyan garu.  Some forces are creating a needless controversy," Kaushal said.  

"I have filed cases against the miscreants under IT Act and IPC sections.  Action will be taken against him soon by the cyber police," he added.

He dared Babu Gogineni to come to Hyderabad and take on him.  "You are in the UK.  Why don't you come here?" he asked.  He accused that Babu is close to the editor-in-chief of TV5, which is "behind the campaign against me".  He also accused a Telugu actor (who was his Bigg Boss mate) of working against him.  Kaushal also slammed Tejaswi Madivada for terming Kaushal Army as a bunch of sheep.

"Some forces are trying to ruin my career.  Several individuals have been drafted to troll my film producers on social media. They are trolling my producers in the garb of being my supporters.  Many of my fans are agonized by the happenings," he said, adding that he lost a couple of projects recently due to the machinations of his rivals.  

Kaushal also alleged that he and his wife were secretly filmed recently, depriving us of their privacy.  "When I took out a rally recently after the Pulwama attack, there was an attempt to sabotage it," he said.
