Actress Sobhita Dhulipala recently expressed her frustration with the Telugu community's resistance to those pursuing unconventional goals. She stated that she left her hometown of Visakhapatnam at 16 due to the deeply judgemental and unsupportive environment. In a response to an influencer's post criticizing the community's lack of support for its own members, Sobhita shared her own experience of leaving Visakhapatnam for Mumbai at 16, despite having no guarantees of success.

She emphasized that the situation is particularly challenging for women. Sobhita hopes that things have improved since her departure, wishing for growth and courage within her community.
