However, Adnan slammed him for using the term 'Telugu Flag'. Hitting back at Reddy's tweet, the singer said, "Telugu flag? You mean INDIAN flag right? We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country...Especially internationally, we are one country! This 'separatist' attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you...Jai HIND."
