Naga Chaitanya says he's no longer ‘obsessed' with brands; internet points out he wears ₹41 lakh Audemars Piguet watch
Director Sekhar Kammula's Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh-starrer Kuberaa released in theatres this Friday to a good response. Naga Chaitanya sat down for a promotional interview with his dad Nagarjuna and Sekhar to discuss the film. Talking about working with Sekhar for their 2021 film Love Story, the actor claimed he's no longer 'obsessed' with brands as he was before working with the director.

Chaitanya claimed in the promotional video that Sekhar's ideologies have rubbed off on him, stating, 'When I first met you and worked with you in Love Story, I remember being obsessed with brands like any other young guy. But once I saw you and your friends, I saw the simple life you lead. They know what they want, they know what their happiness is. What else does anyone need? I really observed all of you, you and your gang have saved me a lot of money. I realised I just need to focus on what's needed.' This made Sekhar crack a smile as he replied, 'I am really so happy. Once you question yourself, there's no pressure.'
However, people on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube seemed not to buy Chaitanya's claim of leading a 'simple life'. One person pointed out, 'Meanwhile: Shekar kammula wearing us polo shirt.' Another wrote, 'Buddy owns some of the most luxury cars in the world. Had 2 dream weddings at an expense in which a middle class family will live one generation. His wear designer clothes and shoes. Which expense exactly did he cut? I wonder!' Some even noticed he had expensive watches on both his wrists, writing posts like, 'Telling all this casually wearing an @AudemarsPiguet Royal Oak offshore on the wrist,' and 'Says bro with two watches in both hands?' The Royal Oak chronograph Chay wears is priced at ₹41 lakh.
For the unversed, Chaitanya worked in Sekhar's last film, Love Story, which also starred Sai Pallavi. He played a marginalised caste man who falls for a woman battling childhood trauma. The film was released in 2021 and received good reviews.

'He Needs a Desperate Attempt': HasanAbi Calls Out Ethan Klein for Legal Move Against Streamers
Image via: Instagram/hasandpiker In a shocking twist, in retaliation for Ethan Klein's aforementioned move to sue three of Twitch's largest streamers Denims, Morgan 'Frogan,' and Kacey 'Kaceytron',political commentator and former War of AI participant Hasan 'HasanAbi' Piker declared Klein's lawsuit a 'last ditch attempt' meant to generate drama. This suit stems from the conviction that Hasan Piker, aka hasanabi, has unjustly violated YouTuber. The legal challenge: What's the problem? On June 19, 2025, H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein announced his intention to sue Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron for copyrighting his content. In his first clip, Klein laid out an introduction to the lawsuit, arguing that the three streamers were illegally using his copyrighted videos on their sites. That suit got ugly when those streamers started directly reacting to Klein's video in their own live streams, something that Klein now alleges led to rampant copyright infringement. Klein's choice to pursue legal action has been the subject of widespread attention, in large part because the content at issue in this case including the discussions made between public figures that lead to the threat of legal action are typically public and occur in a public forum. As the host of one of YouTube's most popular and longest-running podcasts, Klein's decision to go to bat has inspired several days' worth of raging discourse about the YouTube creator community's ethical obligation to steer clear of this type of lawsuit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Hasanabi's Outrage: A 'Pathetic Stunt' For Drama' HasanAbi was the first to express his outrage at Klein's misconduct, seizing the lawsuit's condemnation the day the news of the lawsuit broke and going straight to his livestream to condemn the lawsuit. The Turkish-American streamer took full advantage of his opportunity to hammer Klein's proposal, calling it a blatant attempt to manufacture controversy. As HasanAbi reminds us, Klein's legal crusade is a collaborative squall of costly, hazardous balderdash that's quickly turning into a big-wave tsunami for the influencer/content creator space. "Now he needs a desperate attempt to grab onto f*king any sort of controversy and drama. I'm sure that me reacting to it actually playing into exactly what he wanted to do. But the reason why I wanted to talk about this is specifically so that you guys go and show support to Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron because, obviously, he has a fk ton of money, and he's going to use the fk ton of money that he has to bully other content creators who don't have a f*k ton of money, and try to win some kind of public opinion battle. ' The move stands in a dismal contrast of further implications for content creators, especially micro-influencers who often lack the legal resources to present their own arguments against industry Goliaths. Nor will it pacify the Twitter mob. This is in large part due to the fact that many of HasanAbi's followers have taken to social media to defend the accused streamers, further inflaming the growing online conversation about whether content creators with huge platforms have any ethical responsibility to their audiences. Klein's lawsuit has not by any means slipped under the radar, as nearly a half million in the Twitch and YouTube communities have rallied to the cause of the three streamers.

Critics accused the Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa actor of spreading misinformation and targeting a victim of a national tragedy without evidence. Among the wave of angry responses, one user wrote, "Apologize all you want, the damage has been done — your reputation for diligence is irreparable," while another called her an "absolutely pathetic excuse for a supposed star, role model, and person."Amid criticism, Krishnamoorthi issued a public apology later the same day. She acknowledged her mistake in a follow-up post: "The tweet on air india survivor - i saw on the insta feed of an ex times of india journalist. So wrongly assumed it may be correct Shared in haste . It was a mistake. My apologies once again." The tweet on air india survivor - i saw on the insta feed of an ex times of india journalist. So wrongly assumed it may be correct Shared in haste .
