Entertainment: Well-known Telugu cinema actress Kalpika Ganesh is once again embroiled in controversy.

A video of the entire incident is circulating on social media, showing Kalpika Ganesh arguing with the pub staff. Surprisingly, Kalpika herself posted this video on her Instagram account, portraying herself as the victim and describing the staff's behavior as "oppressive."
However, the video clearly shows Kalpika not only using abusive language but also damaging the pub's crockery and furniture.
