A recent press meet featuring acclaimed director Lokesh Kanagaraj has sparked controversy and drawn sharp criticism towards a reporter for posing what many fans are calling an inappropriate and "cheap" question. The incident, which occurred in Chennai, involved the reporter asking Kanagaraj about an alleged relationship with an actress and whether he was planning to start a "second family".

The 질문 immediately ignited a firestorm of backlash on social media platforms. Numerous fans and observers have voiced their outrage, deeming the question intrusive, disrespectful, and entirely irrelevant to Kanagaraj's professional work. Many argued that such personal inquiries are unprofessional and contribute to a toxic environment for public figures.

Kanagaraj was present at the press meet to address various topics, including his decision to step away from directing Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan's Thalaivar 173. He clarified that his departure was due to creative differences and differing genre expectations, not due to negative feedback on previous projects. He also addressed the performance of Coolie, stating that the film suffered a significant revenue loss due to its "A" rating.

The controversy surrounding the intrusive question has overshadowed these professional matters, with social media users focusing on what they perceive as a blatant violation of privacy. Some have called for the reporter and the media outlet to issue an apology to Kanagaraj. Others are sharing the clip of the interaction, further amplifying the discussion and criticism.

This incident highlights the ongoing debate about the boundaries of journalism and the responsibility of reporters to avoid sensationalism and respect the personal lives of individuals in the public eye. While the public has a legitimate interest in the work and professional decisions of celebrities and filmmakers, many believe that there is a clear line that should not be crossed when it comes to personal matters. The uproar following the "second family" question underscores the increasing awareness and sensitivity among fans and the general public regarding intrusive and disrespectful behavior by the media.
