Following the backlash, she posted another video, clarifying that she loves Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, and urged people not to spread hate.
Instagram influencer Sugandh Sharma sparked controversy with a recent reel in which she claimed that North Indians were responsible for building Bengaluru and that the city couldn't function without migrants. In the viral video, Ms Sharma stated that if North Indians were to leave Bengaluru, the city would be left empty, even suggesting that paying guest (PG) accommodations would be vacant. However, following the backlash, she posted another video, clarifying that she loves Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, and urged people not to spread hate.
She captioned the original video, "Bangalore sabka hain kisi ek ka nahin (Bangalore belongs to everyone, not to anyone alone)."
The video triggered numerous reactions from internet users. Celebrities including actresses Chaithra Achar and Anupama Gowda, and Bigg Boss stars Rupesh Rajanna and Dhanraj also expressed their disapproval of Sharma's remarks.
