Telangana’s Forests Minister Konda Surekha has triggered a massive controversy with her allegation that Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader KT Rama Rao was responsible for the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Her comments have drawn a sharp response from the actor’s father, actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, who said her remarks are “completely irrelevant and false” and demanded that she withdraws them.
“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. Please respect other people’s privacy,” read a rough translation of his post on X, formerly Twitter.
“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,” he added.
In a scathing attack on KT Rama Rao, son of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Ms Surekha said he was the reason why many actresses left movies and married early. KT Rama Rao, she claimed, was addicted to drugs and blackmailed film personalities.
She also said that she suspected that the BRS leader was behind a series of offensive posts against her.
