Telugu film actress Swathi Reddy's mother Nagendramma lodged a complaint with the Banjara Hills Police Station stating that Reddy had been missing for the last few days. She alleged in her complaint that one Srinivas Reddy from Guntur had taken her daughter away by telling her cock-and-bull stories, and that Swathi left taking cash and jewelry with her. She also alleged that Srinivas Reddy was already married.
Knowing of this, Swathi Reddy herself went to the police station and made it clear that she had left the house of her own volition. She said that she had had financial differences with her mother, but that they were resolved now. She also stated that she didn't know any Srinivas Reddy.
"My mother harassed me several times for money. I have no differences with my mother now. Nobody kidnapped me and I have no love affairs. Why should I enter a relationship with a person who is already married?" she questioned.
A heated argument then took place between the mother and daughter in the presence of the police, leading to the two practically coming to blows. The police counselled them both and launched an investigation after registering a case.
Swathi acted in supporting roles in a few Telugu films in the past including
Back Bench Student and
Legend, and is currently acting as the second heroine in the film Present Love.
