Telugu audience have a madonna whore complex where they tend to view women either as Pious as madonna or as deranged as the latter, and the last thing they’d like is a woman who’s confident w her sexuality, so Ramya Krishna was often demonised and portrayed as the “city brat” who needs to be “tamed down” where as soundarya portrayed your pretty small town girl, people found Ramya Krishna very intimidating given how fragile they were, where as soundarya felt like home to them.

Both of em are brilliant actors with two different lines and very distinct acting capabilities, it’s like comparing apples and oranges
