Samantha Ruthaprabhu got divorced from Naga Chaitanya in 2021.
Telangana Minister Konda Surekha had given a controversial statement regarding the divorce of South's famous couple Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Many celebs including Samantha, Nag Chaitanya had strongly condemned his statement. Now Naga Chaitanya's father Nagarjuna has filed a defamation case against Telangana Minister Konda Surekha.
Konda Surekha had said in her statement against Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao –
KTR has a habit of exploiting heroines. He held rave parties with many actresses, made them addicted to drugs and then blackmailed them. He is also the reason for the divorce of Naga and Samantha. He had tapped the phones of both of them. Because of him, many heroines get married early and leave the cinema field.
The video of Konda Surekha's controversial statement is viral.
Samantha strongly condemned and wrote – Do not raise my name in your political disputes.
Being a woman and coming out and working. Surviving in an industry where women are mostly used as props. Falling in love, falling, standing and fighting… all this takes a lot of courage. Konda Surekha I am proud of my journey. Please don't spoil it. Hope you realize that as a minister your words matter. I request you to respect the privacy of others. My divorce is my personal matter and do not speculate about it, Konda Surekha. We kept it private, but that does not mean that false statements should be made. Let me tell you that my divorce took place with the consent of both of us. Keep your political matter away from my name.
A day after Surekha's statement, Samantha reacted to it.
Naga Chaitanya said – Divorce is the most painful decision
The decision of divorce is the most painful and unfortunate decision of any person's life. After much deliberation, my ex-partner and I have decided to mutually separate. Many baseless things have been said on this matter so far. This statement of Minister Surekha is very absurd and unacceptable.
Samantha's ex-husband Naga Chaitanya has also shared the post and called the minister's statement baseless and absurd.
