Nagarjuna Strongly Condemns Telangana Minister's Comment On Chaitanya-Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Divorce

Nagarjuna Akkineni has strongly reacted to the comments made by Telangana Minister Konda Surekha on his son Naga Chaitanya and former daughter-in-law Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce. On Wednesday, Telangana’s Forests and Environment Minister alleged that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President, K.T. Rama Rao, was responsible for the separation of actors Chay and Samantha.

'Don't use the lives of movie stars'

Taking to his X handle, Nagarjuna penned a note slamming the Telangana Minister and asked her to not use the lives of actors who stay away from politics. He asked her to respect other people's privacy and requested her to withdraw her comments against his family. He wrote in Telugu which we loosely translated to English, "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. 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."

Konda Surekha blames KT Rama Rao for Chaitanya and Samantha's divorce

In a video going viral on the internet, Konda Surekha can be heard saying, "KTR is the reason why Naga Chaitanya and Samantha broke up in the first place. He has the habit of exploiting women and even heroines. He has gotten several heroines addicted to drugs. He even tapped their phones to get personal information. Doesn’t he have a mother, sister, and wife at home? Why doesn’t he respect and value women.”

When did Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu parted ways

The reason behind their divorce is still a mystery as before getting married, the couple dated for seven long years. After four years of their marriage in October 2021, the couple shocked their fans by posting a joint statement on social media announcing their separation. They requested the fans for privacy and support during these difficult times. "After much deliberation and thought, Sam and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us. We request our fans, well-wishers, and the media to support us during this difficult time and give us the privacy we need to move on. Thank you for your support."

Now, Chaitanya is engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala and is expected to tie the knot soon.
