Shivaji Defends His Stand, Claims He Was Targeted

Actor Shivaji on Wednesday presented himself before the Telangana State Women’s Commission to submit his clarification regarding the remarks he had made on women’s attire, which recently triggered widespread discussion. Following his interaction with the Commission, the actor stepped out to speak with the media and shared his views on the developments surrounding the issue.

Speaking to reporters, Shivaji alleged that a conspiracy had been orchestrated against him. He claimed that certain individuals, who began their careers alongside him, now harbour personal animosity and have deliberately targeted him following the controversy. According to Sivaji, meetings were even held online to strategise against him, and he stated that he would disclose further details with evidence at an appropriate time.

Reflecting on the developments, Shivaji said the episode had taught him a significant lesson, remarking that offering advice or suggestions in the current climate often leads to misunderstandings and backlash. He maintained that his intentions were misinterpreted, leading to the situation escalating far beyond what he had anticipated.

Striking a firm and defiant tone, Shivaji asserted that he is not afraid of anyone or anything. He clarified that his statements should be viewed as an expression of self-respect rather than arrogance. While claiming that he is fully aware of who is allegedly behind the moves against him, the actor chose not to name any individuals at this stage.

The matter continues to draw attention as it remains under consideration by the Telangana State Women’s Commission, while Shivaji’s remarks after his appearance have added a new dimension to the ongoing public debate.
