Akhil Akkineni stands in solidarity with his mother Amala, half-brother Naga Chaitanya, and former sister-in-law Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Akhil Akkineni publicly supported his mother, Amala Akkineni, following her strong condemnation of Konda Surekha’s claims regarding KTR, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Naga Chaitanya. The Telugu film industry was left reeling when Surekha alleged that KTR was responsible for the breakup of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, stating that his interference had disrupted the Akkineni family and contributed to their divorce.
Shocked to hear a woman minister turn into a demon, conjuring evil fictions allegations, preying on decent citizens as fuel for a political war.
Madam Minister, do you rely and believe people with no decency to feed you utterly scandalous stories about my husband without an iota…
Amala expressed her dismay on social media, criticizing Surekha for her remarks. She described it as shocking for a woman in a ministerial position to engage in what she termed "demonic" behavior, fabricating baseless allegations. Amala questioned how someone in such a position could rely on untrustworthy sources to spread scandalous stories about her family, calling it shameful. She expressed concern about the implications for the country if leaders behaved in such a manner.
My dear mother I support every word you have said and I am With you and the family..I’m sorry that you have to address this demonic nonsense but we have no choice sometimes but to deal with such sociopaths. https://t.co/an9SrXBkon
