Telugu actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya have publicly responded to controversial comments made by Telangana minister Konda Surekha regarding their divorce. The minister alleged that BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) played a role in the couple’s separation by making inappropriate demands. These remarks sparked widespread criticism and condemnation.
Samantha took to Instagram to clarify that her divorce was a personal matter, not influenced by any political factors. She emphasized the importance of respecting privacy and avoiding the politicization of personal issues.
Naga Chaitanya, while not directly addressing the minister’s comments, retweeted a post from his father, Nagarjuna Akkineni, on X (formerly Twitter). Nagarjuna strongly condemned Konda Surekha’s remarks, stating, “I strongly condemn the comments of the Honorable Minister Mrs. Konda Surekha. Don’t use the lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticize your opponents.” He further added, “As a woman in a responsible position, your comments and accusations against our family are completely irrelevant and false. I request you to withdraw your comments immediately.”
The collective response from Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, and Nagarjuna makes it clear that their personal matters should not be used for political gain or to score political points. Their statements highlight the importance of respecting privacy and avoiding public scrutiny of personal issues.
