Actress Nidhhi Agerwal has issued a formal statement addressing growing controversy after a video surfaced showing her arriving at a private store launch in Bhimavaram in a vehicle marked Prabutva Vahanam (government vehicle) — a development that triggered sharp criticism online and political heat, especially towards Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan.
In her detailed statement, Nidhhi categorically denied any involvement in requesting or selecting the vehicle, clarifying that it was arranged by local event organizers solely for logistical purposes. “I had no role in choosing or requesting this vehicle,” she emphasized, adding that suggestions of government officials sending the vehicle were “completely baseless.”
The incident, reported by media houses quickly went viral, not just because of the high-profile nature of the event, but because it raised serious questions of protocol violation. Under Section 7 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, government vehicles are strictly designated for official use, with misuse liable for penalties including fines up to 10,000 or imprisonment — although enforcement is often inconsistently applied, especially where political figures are involved.
Critics have questioned whether this was a case of misuse of state resources or simply a lapse in judgment by local coordinators eager to accommodate celebrity demands. Such incidents, while not unheard of in India’s booming event and influencer economy, tend to draw backlash when they involve public property, especially in politically sensitive regions.
Nidhhi’s swift response — which included a clear rejection of any political link and a reaffirmation of her respect for her audience — seems to be a move to distance herself from the escalating political narrative. “It is important for me to clarify the truth so that no misinformation is carried forward,” she said, thanking her fans for their continued support.
While the statement may help defuse the situation for now, the larger debate on celebrity privilege and government resource misuse remains unresolved — especially as the lines between glamour, politics, and public perception continue to blur.
