Not only is it deeply regressive, but it's point is actually that it is deeply regressive." The tweet did not go well with the fans of Mahesh Babu and they started criticizing and dis-respecting her.

The fans were unhappy to such an extent that as per topsy.com, the hashtag #GetLostSamanthaAndSiddharth received 11,000+ tweets in just five hours.  |
