Vijay Deverakonda slams minister Konda Surekha over her comments on Naga Chaitanya- Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s divorce

The controversy surrounding Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s allegations against KT Rama Rao and Samantha Ruth Prabhu has ignited a significant outcry in the entertainment industry and beyond. Surekha’s shocking claim that KT Rama Rao demanded Samantha be sent to him in exchange for saving Nagarjuna’s N Convention Center from demolition, and that her refusal caused her divorce from Naga Chaitanya has left many in disbelief.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu herself has refuted these claims with a powerful statement, maintaining her dignity and calling for respect. She expressed her pride in her personal and professional journey, urging the minister to consider the weight of her words, especially in her capacity as a public servant. Samantha also emphasized the challenges women face in the film industry and urged Surekha not to trivialize her struggles.

Samantha’s colleagues from the film industry have rallied in her defense, with strong voices condemning the baseless accusations. Vijay Deverakonda, her Kushi co-star, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration with the situation. In a strongly-worded post, he criticized the state of current politics and condemned the behavior of some politicians, urging them to focus on real issues like infrastructure, jobs, and education instead of dragging personal lives into political battles. His statement reflects the deep dissatisfaction with the lowering of political discourse.

Samantha’s response, along with support from figures like Vijay Deverakonda, highlights the unity within the entertainment industry in standing against unwarranted personal attacks. Other prominent figures have also come forward, echoing similar sentiments about the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to sensitive personal matters like divorce.
