Entertainment: Veteran Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad is set to receive India’s fourth-highest civilian honor, the Padma Shri – a recognition that not only celebrates his remarkable contributions to cinema but also comes with a sense of responsibility and public accountability. While fans and film enthusiasts have congratulated him on this prestigious award, some have also urged the seasoned actor to exercise greater restraint in public. This comes in the wake of past controversies where Rajendra Prasad faced criticism and trolling for making vulgar or insensitive remarks at film-related events. Despite being widely respected for his acting prowess, the actor has previously drawn flak for using inappropriate language on stage and making comments that many deemed inconsistent with the decorum expected of a senior artist. Critics argue that such incidents are not in keeping with the conduct expected of a Padma Shri awardee. Consequently, some fans are advising Rajendra Prasad to be more mindful of his words or to limit his public appearances, emphasizing that this prestigious honor demands responsible behavior and decorum in all public interactions.
