Allu Arjun and Sai Dugha Tej are cousins.
Actor Sai Durgha Tej, previously known as Sai Dharam Tej, has unfollowed his cousin, actor Allu Arjun, on both X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
On Wednesday, Pawan Kalyan took the oath as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. However, hawk-eyed fans noticed something unusual about the Allu–Konidela family: actor Sai Durgha Tej, previously known as Sai Dharam Tej, has unfollowed his cousin, actor Allu Arjun, on both X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fans expressed their surprise on X, noting that Sai had also unfollowed Allu’s wife, Sneha Reddy, on both platforms. The only member of the Allu family Sai still follows is Allu Sirish.
Fans shared screenshots showing that Sai is only following Sirish on Instagram, commenting, “Actor #SaiDharamTej unfollowed #AlluArjun on Instagram & Twitter.”
Allu has never followed anyone on X and only follows his wife on Instagram. A family source told HT that Sai hasn’t followed Allu for a while. “People just noticed that Sai hasn’t been following Arjun and Sneha since he unfollowed them after the elections,” the source explained. Both the actors’ team and the source refused to say more.
Allu has been absent since Pawan’s Jana Sena Party (JSP) won the elections in Andhra Pradesh. The actor did not attend the swearing-in ceremony or the family celebration in Hyderabad. Sai Durgha Tej, Varun Tej, and other cousins were present. Before the elections, Allu tweeted in support of his uncle Pawan and later went to Nandhyal to support YSRCP constituency candidate S Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy.
Pawan Kalyan has set the record as the second person from the mega family to become a minister, following Chiranjeevi. At the swearing-in ceremony today, PM Narendra Modi was seen holding Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan’s hands as he stepped onto the stage. He raised their hands and greeted the crowd, then hugged them warmly. The video is now going viral on social media. The camera also captured actor Ram Charan beaming with pride as the honourable Prime Minister hugged his father, Chiranjeevi. Ram Charan looked dashing in a black shirt.
