Overview
- During a press meet focused on Coolie (2025) and a planned Allu Arjun project, a reporter asked about social-media chatter linking him to an actress.
- Asked if he was "going to be family" with the actress, Lokesh responded, "No, sir. I already have a family."
- When the reporter repeated "second family," Lokesh declined to continue and closed the session.
- Clips of the exchange spread on X (formerly Twitter), with users condemning the question as inappropriate and praising his composure.
- Coverage noted he has been married to Aishwarya since 2012 with two daughters, a detail fans cited in criticizing the line of questioning.
