Without directly mentioning anyone, Renu wrote in Telugu, “It is not morally right to criticise someone when they are already going through a difficult time. It is inhuman to trample on people who have already fallen. No matter what position or status they hold, we should not forget that they too are human beings. They are someone's child, someone's parent or someone's sibling.”
“Please don't throw stones at other people's houses when we ourselves live in imperfect glass houses! We are all humans and empathy and kindness are the first fundamental requirements to be called a human!” Renu further added.
The actor concluded, “Just because I wrote these words don't start your stupid speculations because I sincerely believe that as a society we can do better. And NO, I haven't gotten any paytm to be kind and sensible. It's just the way I perceive things with a functioning prefrontal cortex.”
