By TeluguFunda / May 25, 2026

Tollywood producer and actor Bandla Ganesh has once again become the center of attention on social media after revealing a shocking incident from the early days of his career. Speaking in a recent podcast, Ganesh disclosed that a star hero once hit him with a slipper, an incident he says completely changed his life and became the biggest motivation behind his success.

During a podcast hosted by Raja Ravindra, Bandla Ganesh opened up about the humiliating experience. He recalled that the incident happened on the same day actress Soundarya passed away in a helicopter crash. According to Ganesh, he was sitting beside a popular hero and repeatedly addressed him as “Sir” out of habit. However, the actor, who was reportedly under stress at the time, suddenly hit him with a slipper.

Ganesh stated that another well-known hero was also present during the incident and insisted that every word of his story was true. He admitted feeling deeply humiliated and immediately walked away from the place.

The producer further revealed that the very next day, the actor called him personally and apologized, saying the incident happened in a moment of tension. Even though the hero expressed regret, Ganesh said the humiliation left a lasting impact on him.

“I felt they behaved that way because I had no money and no power at the time. After getting into the car, I told the person beside me that I would one day earn more money than that hero. Otherwise, I didn’t deserve the name Ganesh,” he said emotionally.

Bandla Ganesh explained that the incident became the turning point of his life. He transformed his anger and humiliation into determination, eventually rising as one of Tollywood’s successful producers by backing several major films with top stars.

However, Ganesh chose not to reveal the identity of the actor involved. This has now sparked intense speculation on social media, with netizens trying to guess which hero he was referring to. While some users are debating the possible identity of the star, others feel that such behavior, regardless of who did it, was completely inappropriate.

Many fans also appreciated Bandla Ganesh for honestly sharing a painful chapter of his life. Starting his journey as a comedian and character artist, he later established himself as a prominent producer in the Telugu film industry. Known for his emotional speeches and controversial remarks, Ganesh has once again become a hot topic online with this revelation, and the video clip from the podcast is now going viral across social media platforms.
