Lakshmi Manchu Emotional as Brother Manchu Manoj Surprises Her at Teach For Change Event in Hyderabad
Actress and social activist Lakshmi Manchu experienced an emotional moment during her annual fundraising fashion show for Teach For Change in Hyderabad on Saturday evening. What was intended as a night dedicated to supporting educational initiatives for underprivileged youth transformed into a poignant reunion with her brother, actor Manchu Manoj.
Footage from the memorable event circulated widely, showing Manoj making a quiet entrance as Lakshmi stood before the audience. Upon recognizing him, she fell to the ground, greatly moved, and began to cry. The touching scene was further enriched when Manoj embraced Lakshmi, followed closely by his wife, Mounika Bhuma Manchu, who comforted her during this heartfelt exchange.
In an interview with Telugu 360, Manoj commented on the emotional encounter, stating, “We haven’t met in a while. She felt bad that I turned up late.”
This poignant moment unfolded against the backdrop of a highly publicized family dispute. Recently, Manchu Manoj had staged a protest outside their father Mohan Babu’s residence, reportedly after being denied entry. Tensions intensified further when he accused his brother, Vishnu Manchu, of damaging his property and taking his vehicle while he was in Rajasthan for his daughter’s birthday celebration.
The ongoing feud, believed to be tied to property disagreements, has been under public scrutiny for several months. In contrast to her brothers’ contentious exchanges, Lakshmi Manchu has maintained a stance of dignified silence, consciously distancing herself from the familial discord. Instead, she has remained committed to her philanthropic endeavors, particularly with Teach For Change, which aims to enhance educational accessibility for marginalized communities.
On the career front, Lakshmi was most recently featured in the Disney+ Hotstar series “Yakshini” and is set to appear in the upcoming Telugu film “Adiparvam.”
