Samantha Ruth Prabhu Receives Backing from Khushbu Sundar in Light of Konda Surekha’s Comments
Khushbu Sundar, an actor and political figure, has publicly criticized Konda Surekha for her comments regarding the divorce of Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya. Taking to social media platform X, Sundar condemned Surekha for involving personal matters of the couple, urging her to apologize for her remarks. She expressed frustration over the public discourse surrounding individuals in the film industry, emphasizing the need for respect.
“I never expected such language from someone in a responsible position. It is indeed disappointing to witness a disregard for basic decency,” Khushbu stated in her post. She challenged Surekha, reminding her of the values that should guide her conduct. “The cinema industry will no longer remain silent in the face of such denigrating comments. It is time for an apology, not just to Samantha but to the entire film community for the unfounded allegations,” she added.
In her controversial statement, Konda Surekha alleged that the political leader K.T. Rama Rao interfered in the personal dynamics of the Akkineni family, which she claimed played a role in the divorce of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya. According to Surekha, this interference stemmed from a supposed demand that Samantha be sent to K.T.R. in exchange for not demolishing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre.
Surekha elaborated that when Samantha refused to comply with these demands, it led to significant tensions within the family, ultimately culminating in the high-profile separation. “K.T.R. sought to have Samantha sent to him in return for not tearing down the N-Convention Centre. When she declined, this contributed to the eventual divorce,” she claimed, as reported by Deccan Herald.
Samantha took to Instagram to address these allegations, urging Konda Surekha to reconsider her words and the impact they carry, especially in her capacity as a political figure. “I take pride in my journey and urge you not to trivialize it. As a minister, your words bear weight. Please act with responsibility and respect for the privacy of individuals,” she wrote.
Naga Chaitanya also responded to the claims, labeling them as “ridiculous” and offering clarification on the matter. His father, Nagarjuna, expressed his condemnation of Surekha’s comments, asserting that it is inappropriate to involve the personal lives of film actors in political discourse. He emphasized that artists should be separated from political agendas and that personal matters should not be leveraged to target political rivals.
In a further development, K.T. Rama Rao has reportedly issued a legal notice in response to Konda Surekha’s statements, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations and the necessity for accountability in public discourse.
