The recent busting of a rave party in Bengaluru has sent shockwaves through Tollywood, fueled by rumors implicating actors Srikanth and Hema.

Both actors have vehemently denied any involvement. Srikanth addressed the media directly, while Hema released a video asserting her innocence. Despite their denials, Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayananda made a startling revelation, confirming Hema's involvement. He detailed how Hema managed to hoodwink the police and subsequently released the video. Furthermore, Commissioner Dayananda confirmed that Hema tested positive for drugs.

Movie Artist Association (MAA) President Manchu Vishnu has responded to the controversy surrounding Telugu actress Hema, whose name was mentioned in connection with a recent rave party in Bengaluru. The incident, which included allegations of drug involvement, has caused a stir in the media.

Manchu Vishnu criticized certain media organizations and individuals for making baseless allegations against Hema. He emphasized the importance of refraining from spreading unverified information and reminded everyone that Hema is presumed innocent until proven guilty. "Hema is not only a public figure but also a mother and wife. It is unfair to tarnish her reputation based on rumors," he stated.

He further added, "The Movie Artiste Association condemns any illegal activities. However, we will only take appropriate action if the police provide concrete evidence related to Hema's involvement. Until then, please avoid sensationalizing unsubstantiated news."

In his official statement, Manchu Vishnu posted, "Regarding the recent drug-related case at a rave party, some media outlets and individuals are making unfounded allegations about actress Ms. Hema. I urge everyone to refrain from jumping to conclusions and spreading unverified information. Ms. Hema deserves to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Slandering her image based on rumors is unjust."

He reiterated that MAA will continue to monitor the situation closely and take necessary actions if required, but urged the public and media to respect the due process of law and Hema's right to a fair investigation.

Regarding the recent drug-related case at a rave party, few media outlets and individuals are making baseless allegations about actress Ms.Hema.

I urge everyone to refrain from jumping to conclusions and spreading unverified information. Ms.Hema deserves to be presumed innocent…
