AP was ruled by Britishers but Telangana was never under British control. AP people are comparitively richer than Telangana people. And I am not going to dig deeper into the history for the reasons of them being richer.
AP people talk way too politely but Telangana people can come across as funny or rude (Just like Hyderabadi Hindi. Vijay devarokonda is the perfect example of how Telangana people act) . If I have to choose the language which Telugu is closer to , it's Kannada. Telugu people do marry Kannadigans , who are same caste as them. I have too many Kannada speaking cousins.
It may be awkward but we do marry our cousins. We have this weird algorithm for who becomes brother and other bhava(male)/Mardalu(female). If you are a female/male and your father has a brother and a sister, You can marry your father's sister's son/daughter but bade Papa's son/daughter becomes your brother/sister
If your mother has a sister and a brother. Kids of your mother's sister become ur bro/sis. But, you can marry your mama's-Uncle's kids ( Jab thank tum ho mujey Marney Wala koi paidha nahi huwa mama 😆) .
(Father's sister's kids marriageable
Mother's brother's kids marriageable)
Even the movie stars follow the above algorithm.🤣
I don't know about caste but film industry cares about their sons getting married to a rich girl, who is not a heroine. I do think this is going to change soon.
