Arjun took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday and wrote, "I appeal to all my fans to express their feelings responsibly, as always and not resort to any kind of abusive language or behavior both online and offline."

Statement
Arjun refuted the blame and addressed fresh allegations
On Saturday, Arjun said nobody should be blamed for the stampede.
"It is an unfortunate incident and genuinely speaking nobody is at fault... I genuinely think that nobody should be blamed."
This comes after fresh allegations from Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who recently alleged that the actor didn't leave the cinema hall even after the tragic incident, forcing police intervention.
He claimed that videos from the event showed the actor holding a roadshow and waving to crowds.
Hospital visit
Arjun addressed why he hasn't visited stampede victim in hospital
Talking about why he hasn't visited the stampede victim in hospital, Arjun recently wrote on Instagram, "I remain deeply concerned about young Sri Tej, who is under constant medical care after the unfortunate incident."
He added that due to ongoing legal proceedings, he has been advised not to visit him and his family at this time but remains committed to addressing their medical and family needs.
Tej's mother Revathi tragically lost her life in the stampede.
