We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country...Especially internationally, we are one country! This 'separatist' attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you...Jai HIND!"

His reaction to the tweet divided social media into two parts, many lauded the singer for his reply, while many others criticized him. "What made to think of it as a separatist attitude? what is wrong with being proud of people from the same state. And since you don't know the system here remember he is head of the State of Andhra Pradesh," a fan commented.
