The actor further expressed his commitment to support the family of the deceased, stating, "I will be there for the family to support them. We can never cover the loss of the death of a person." This acknowledgment of the irreplaceable loss and his pledge of support have been met with a mixture of appreciation and scrutiny from the public and media alike, as they navigate the implications of celebrity involvement in such tragedies.

Allu Arjun's speech was also marked by gratitude towards his fans and the public. "I would like to thank each and everyone of you," he said, acknowledging the support he received during this ordeal.

Allu Arjun's response has been seen as both a personal acknowledgment of his role in the unfortunate event and a call for reflection on how such tragedies can be prevented in the future.

The actor's heartfelt words aim to mend the distress caused, yet the incident remains a stark reminder of the potential consequences of celebrity appearances and the need for stringent crowd control measures to protect public safety.
