Veteran singer SP Balasubrahmanyam has landed in trouble over his recent remarks about the attire of today's female actors. At an event, he reportedly said, "They don't know what kind of dress they should wear for film events. Do they think that only if they wear revealing outfits will heroes and directors give them opportunities? I don't mind even if my comments anger them." He added that most heroines today don't understand Telugu so it doesn't matter if his remarks are taken badly. There has been an outrage in the South over his comments.

SPB, as he's fondly called, the singer has recorded over 40,000 songs in 16 languages and is also the recipient of six National Awards. These remarks coming from a prominent singer in the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada film industry were not taken well by people and are quite irresponsible and uncalled for.
