The post garnered huge reach and along with the enormous number of positive reactions, few spewed hatred at the 45 year old actress. A user asked why she is not losing weight, despite of the heavy work out she is going through. Replying to him/her, Pragathi said “I am not working out to lose weight, I want to be strong, healthy and flexible”

Here’s the screen shot of her reply :

“Why are you even doing these aunty ? You are not going to get heroine role by doing these, If you had did these earlier, you would have become a star like Sri devi” said an Instagram user named “Snipe snapesip”. Replying to him, Pragathi said “I am not doing these to become heroine or for the sake of my age, it is for my health and passion”

However, the follower didn’t end there as he came up with another reply asking Pragathi not to show “feminist” attitude. “Where did “feminist attitude come in this issue ? Why don’t you get out of my list or I will have to block you. I don’t want such useless negative people writing on my wall. Just get the hell out of my wall” Pragathi replied.
