Controversies	• Accused by Sri Reddy He was accused of sending indecent WhatsApp messages to the South Indian actress Sri Reddy in 2018. [4]IB Times Later, she posted the screenshot of their chat on her social media account with the caption, "Becoz of this few male dominating replies, and few are questioning my sincerity ..I dnt know what kind of a society I am in..so never ever ask me to keep my proofs here ..people forced me to keep the evidence..who are spoons of big people, playing drama very well..feeling sorry that I am living in the male-dominated society..still girls didn’t get independence.” • Indecent Behaviour with the Stylist In 2019, he misbehaved with his stylist Sugandha and asked his manager Joshina to fire her. [5]Spotboye He got angry at Sugandha when she told Sreerama's manager that she found it difficult to arrange clothes for Sreerama because of his low social media presence. She said, "It’s getting difficult for me to fetch clothes for Sreerama because of his weak social media presence, and he really needs to up his game.” He then blocked her phone number and started sending indecent messages to Sugandha from Joshina's phone. Later, in an interview, Sugandha said, "Not just me but he talks like this to everyone. His manager, Joshina, is a good friend of mine and that’s why I agreed to style him, in spite of his unprofessional behaviour. But this time he crossed his limit by abusing me, that too because I showed him the mirror. I also spoke to his father who apologised to me on his behalf but I am in no mood to forgive him because he will continue with his obnoxious behaviour with others. Strangely, his manager Joshina, who is a girl, is supporting this appalling behaviour. He used sentences like “Do kaudi ki stylist.”
