Fact Sheet: Balaiah's language artificial



Many of those who watched Balakrishna speaking at Yuvagarjana have made an interesting observation: that his language was out and out artificial and "bookish."

In every sentence, he used "grandhika bhasha" (text book language) rather than usual "Vyavaharika Bhasha" (common spoken language). It was a clear attempt to imitate his late father N T Rama Rao, but he miserably failed to articulate in his style. Apart from blabbering and stammering, Balakrishna fumbled at several places in trying to use strong words and be aggressive.

However, whenever he got down to normal language at some instances, Balaiah was his natural self. Especially, when he identified himself as a representative of various castes, he was at his best. It is better he remains his natural self, rather than imitating NTR.
