What is the Naga Chaitanya controversy about?

Former actor couple Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya hit back at Telangana minister Konda Surekha after her remarks that senior BRS leader KT Ramarao was responsible for their divorce sparked controversy, saying her claims are “false” and the decision to part ways was “mutual”. Talking to reporters, Congress leader Surekha, the minister for environment, forests and endowments, alleged that KTR was the reason behind Samantha and Chaitanya’s divorce. “KTR (Rama Rao) was the reason behind the divorce of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha….” she alleged.

KTR sent a legal notice to Surekha, demanding an apology from her. Chaitanya, in his note shared on X, said the divorce was one of the “most painful and unfortunate” of his life’s decisions.

“After a lot of thought, a mutual decision was made by me and my former spouse to part ways. It was a decision made in peace, owing to our different life goals and in the interest of moving forward with respect and dignity as two mature adults. However, there have been various baseless and completely ridiculous gossips on the matter so far,” he wrote on Wednesday night.

The Majili actor said he has remained silent all this while out of deep respect for her former spouse as well as my family. He recently announced engagement to actor Sobhita Dhulipala. “Today, the claim made by Minister Konda Surekha garu is not only false, it is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Women deserve to be supported and respected. Taking advantage and exploiting the personal life decisions of celebrities for the sake of media headlines is shameful,” he added. Earlier, Chaitanya’s father and top Telugu actor Nagarjuna strongly condemned the minister’s remarks asking her “not to use lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticise your opponents”.
