Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 3 (ANI): BJP leader NV Subah came out strongly against Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s remarks linking the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s to Bharat Rashtra Samiti Working President KT Rama Rao, terming it a “whole drama.”
He said, “This is the whole drama. The BJP Telangana is very clear that politics and personal lives are different. We have been very instrumental in ensuring that the political issues should be settled politically. The Telangana Minister making these comments and then dragging the actress into the public domain is not acceptable at all. Why do you want to talk about it? The Congress party is doing the same thing which the BRS party has done of invading the privacy of a person through phone tapping.”
Earlier today, Telangana Minister Konda Surekha issued a clarification after her comments over actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s divorce sparked controversy.
She said her comments are meant to question a leader’s belittling of women and not to hurt Samantha Prabhu’s sentiments.
Taking to X, the Congress leader said that her remark was in order to question KT Rama Rao for “belittling women” and not to hurt Samantha Prabhu’s sentiments.
She further stated that she would “unconditionally” retract her comments if she or her fans were offended by them.
“My comments are meant to question a leader’s belittling of women and not to hurt your (Samantha Prabhu) sentiments. The way you have grown up with self-power is not only an admiration for me but also an ideal…If you or your fans are offended by my comments, I unconditionally retract my comments. Don’t think otherwise,” Surekha said.
Surkeha alleged that KT Rama Rao used to tap the phones of the actresses and blackmail them.
“It is KT Rama Rao because of whom (actress) Samantha’s divorce happened… He was a minister at that time and used to tap the phones of the actresses and then find their weaknesses to blackmail them… He used to make them drug addicts and then do this… Everyone knows this, Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, his family–everybody is aware that such a thing happened,” she said.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu also reacted to the Telangana Minister’s remark and said that her divorce was a “personal matter.”
Taking to Instagram, Samantha issued a statement on Wednesday evening where she clarified that her divorce was “mutual consent and amicable” and there was no political conspiracy involved. She further requested people to stop speculating about her divorce.
On Wednesday, BRS working president KT Rama Rao sent a defamation notice to Konda Surekha over her controversial remarks.
In the legal notice, KTR stated that Surekha made the comments to “tarnish” his image and demanded an immediate withdrawal of the statements made. (ANI)
