Allu Arjun faced criticism on Independence Day after sharing a post containing an image of the Indian national flag without the Ashoka Chakra.
The post quickly attracted attention on social media.
Several users expressed anger over the incorrect representation of the national flag. Some called the mistake shameful and said that the actor should apologise for it.
The controversy grew as screenshots of the post spread online. Users questioned how such an important detail could be missing, especially in an Independence Day message.
Following the backlash, Allu Arjun deleted the post. However, many users said that simply removing it was not enough and demanded an explanation or apology from the actor.
Allu Arjun has not yet publicly commented on the controversy or explained why the image was shared. The incident has therefore continued to generate discussion among social media users.
