"Attended cocktail party while preparing to visit Sabarimala'; Allu Arjun's brother Allu Sirish responds to online bashing

Actor Allu Sirish has responded to those who criticised Ram Charan for attending a cocktail party while he was following deeksha to visit Sabarimala. Many criticised that a person who was observing Ayyappa fast participating in a cocktail party where alcohol was served was blasphemous. The criticism started rising after the pictures of the celebration party held ahead of Allu Sirish's wedding were released.

Allu Sirish responded to the criticism through a comment below his Instagram story. Allu Sirish clarified that Ram Charan arrived at the event before alcohol was served and left early after greeting his family members.

'Swami came before any of us touched alcohol. Wished us & left. Love his dedication to Lord Ayyappa!- Allu Sirish wrote.

Ram Charan is a person who visits Sabarimala every year and performs Ayyappa darshan. Based on reports, Ram Charan observes a 41-day Ayyappa Deeksha (fast) twice every year and has done so for over two decades. Actor Allu Sirish is marrying Nayanika Reddy on March 6, 2026, following their engagement in October 2025. The wedding, marking the culmination of their relationship, is scheduled for the same date as his brother Allu Arjun’s wedding. Their engagement took place in Hyderabad in November last year.
