that
the

are

The

to
verify
any
piece
of
information
before
publishing.

Raping
Him
Mentally

"If
I

any
of
my

are
affected
by
all
this,
who
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
our
trauma?," the

On
Taking
Action
Against

got
miffed
with

he
has

Pradeep
On
Sensationalism
Machiraju
admitted
that
he
is
a
self-made
man
and
has
always
been
focusing
on
entertaining

in
the
media
affects
his
personal
life.

recalling
an
incident
that
happened
with
him
in
the
past,
Pradeep
said,
"When
I
injured
my
leg
in
the
past,
some
YouTube
channels
went
to
the
town
saying
that
my
days
were
numbered.
Do
you
know
how
much
it
pains
my
family
members?"
