Telangana Minister Konda Surekha has caused controversy by alleging that politician KT Rama Rao was responsible for the divorce of actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, citing phone tapping and blackmail. Both actors have refuted these claims, asserting that their divorce was a mutual and personal decision, devoid of any political conspiracy. Samantha strongly criticized the minister for her irresponsible comments and emphasized her journey in a challenging industry, calling for respect and privacy. Naga Chaitanya labeled the allegations as 'ridiculous and unacceptable,' stressing that exploiting personal life decisions for headlines is shameful. Prominent figures, including Nagarjuna Akkineni and actor-politician Kushboo, condemned the minister's remarks, urging her to retract them. Despite the backlash, Surekha has apologized but maintained her accusations against KT Rama Rao.
