The recent remarks made by Telangana Minister Konda Surekha have triggered a massive storm, dragging actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu into political mudslinging. The minister linked their personal matters to KT Rama Rao (KTR), claiming that he was behind their divorce, and even made wild accusations involving drugs and blackmail. 😳 Her words have rightfully drawn sharp criticism, not only from the actors’ families but also from the public. 🤦♂️
🎤 A Controversial Attack That Crossed All Lines
Konda Surekha’s comments accusing KTR of causing the divorce between Samantha and Naga Chaitanya are not just completely irrelevant but also plain irresponsible. She also took it a step further, saying KTR has ruined the lives of many actresses by blackmailing them after getting them addicted to drugs. It’s hard to believe a minister would stoop so low as to use an actress's personal life for political leverage. This is nothing short of cheap political theatre. 😡
🎬 Celebs Hit Back with Class 💪
Veteran actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, father of Naga Chaitanya, was quick to condemn the minister's comments. In a strongly worded statement, he called the remarks completely false and irrelevant, demanding that Surekha withdraw her accusations immediately. “Don’t use the lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticize your opponents. Please respect other people’s privacy,” Nagarjuna said in a powerful post on X (formerly Twitter). ✊
While KTR himself has remained silent, former minister and BRS leader Harish Rao has demanded an unconditional apology from Konda Surekha. 💥 The outrage doesn’t stop there — many fans and the general public have voiced their disgust over how low political figures can stoop to gain attention. 😤
🤯 How Did We Get Here?
Let’s get real — dragging actresses and their personal lives into political feuds is not just immature but insensitive. It’s one thing to criticize your political opponents, but using a woman's private life as a weapon? That’s a new low. This incident is yet another example of how our political discourse has hit rock bottom, only for these so-called leaders to dig even deeper. 😤
All of us strongly criticize the use of women’s personal lives to fuel political agendas. It's a disgraceful tactic that further diminishes the quality of public discourse. The Voice of Women, a Telugu media women's collective, has condemned Konda Surekha’s remarks and has launched an online petition urging the Telangana government under CM Revanth Reddy to make her retract her statement. It’s time we all stand up and say NO to this type of abuse! 🙅♀️
