Samantha-Naga Chaitanya split: Rakul Preet shuts down Telangana minister Konda Surekha for using her name

Recently, Rakul Preet Singh criticised Telangana leader Konda Surekha for her statements against her. The star encouraged officials to cease leveraging her name for political benefit.

Actor Rakul Preet Singh called out Congress Telangana minister Konda Surekha for using her name in a speech to gain ‘political mileage' in a post on X. The actor, who has previously worked in the Telugu film industry, wrote a detailed note on X, slamming the politician.

Rakul Preet Singh, who formerly worked in the Telugu film business, sent a comprehensive letter to X criticising Congress Telangana minister Konda Surekha for exploiting her name in a speech to garner 'political mileage'.

The Telangana minister had previously accused BRS leader KTR of having links to drug-related groups and claiming participation in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce. Surekha also accused Rama Rao of bringing female performers to narcotics, claiming that he rendered them addicted.

"The reason for injustice to Samantha is KTR. Two to three heroines have also got married early due to drug cases. Rakul Preet got married and other two to three heroines as well. Why do we have to bear this headache (of the drug cases) and get married soon? With the power they had previously, they tapped phones, made records and threatened them," she said.

Meanwhile, actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has filed a criminal and defamation complaint against Telangana Congress Minister Konda Surekha at Nampally court.
