Samantha Ruth Prabhu has expressed her outrage after a minister shared misleading information regarding her divorce from Naga Chaitanya. Known for her impressive acting skills, Samantha’s personal life has garnered significant public interest, especially following her marriage to Chaitanya, which ended after several years. While the exact reasons for their separation remain unclear, Naga Chaitanya recently announced his engagement to Sobhita Dhulipala.
Amid these developments, cabinet minister Konda Surekha made a controversial statement, suggesting that political interference from Telangana minister KT Rama Rao contributed to the couple’s split. In response, Samantha took to her Instagram account to emphasize the importance of respecting an individual’s privacy.
In her statement, Samantha highlighted that it should not be trivialized when a woman navigates love, loss, and career challenges in the entertainment industry.
She clarified that her divorce from Naga Chaitanya was a private matter settled amicably and that there was no political influence involved.
Additionally, actor Nagarjuna criticized Konda Surekha’s claims, labeling them as baseless and irrelevant. He urged her to refrain from using the personal lives of film stars to pursue political agendas, emphasizing the need for respect towards their privacy.
Do not use the personal lives of movie stars, who remain outside of politics, to target your political opponents. Please respect their privacy. As a woman holding a responsible position, your accusations against our family are both irrelevant and false. I urge you to retract your statements immediately.”
