Samantha, Naga Chaitanya REACT to Konda Surekha's claims about their divorce; Here's what they said

Telangana Minister Konda Surekha recently made controversial allegations involving KT Rama Rao (KTR) in the high-profile divorce of Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya. Surekha claimed that KTR’s involvement led to turmoil in the Akkineni family, ultimately resulting in the couple's separation.

Konda Surekha’s Allegations About Samantha Ruth Prabhu and the Akkineni Family

According to Konda Surekha, KTR allegedly requested that Samantha be sent to him in return for not demolishing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre. She further claimed that when Samantha refused, it triggered her separation from Naga Chaitanya. Surekha also stated that Nagarjuna pressured Samantha to agree, but she did not comply, leading to the divorce.

The N-Convention Centre, owned by Nagarjuna, faced partial demolition by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) on August 24, 2024, due to alleged encroachment on lake buffer zones. Later that day, Nagarjuna obtained a stay order from the High Court and shared an official statement via social media.

Surekha also accused KTR of tapping actresses’ phones to exploit their vulnerabilities and of forcing them into drug addiction for blackmail purposes. She mentioned that Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, and their families were all aware of these events.

Samantha also clarified that her divorce was a private matter and asked for an end to any speculation. She emphasized that her separation from Naga Chaitanya was mutual, consensual, and amicable, without any political conspiracy. She urged people to refrain from involving her in political disputes and reiterated her non-political stance.
