A couple of hours ago, Samantha took to her Instagram Stories and issued a strong statement. She began her note by writing, “To be a woman, To come out and work, To survive in a glamorous industry where women are more often than not treated as props, To fall in love & to fall out of love, To still stand up and fight… It takes a lot of courage and strength.”

Addressing Konda Surekha, the ‘Eega’ actress continued, “Konda Surekha Garu, I am proud of what this journey turned me into- please don’t trivialise it. I hope you realise that your words carry significant weight as a minister. I implore you to be responsible and respectful of individuals’ privacy. My divorce is a personal matter, and I request that you refrain from speculating about it.”

The ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ actress further added, “Our choice to keep things private doesn’t invite misrepresentation. To clarify: my divorce was mutual consent and amicable, with no political conspiracy involved. Could you please keep my name out of political battles? I have always remained non-political and wish to continue doing so.”

Surekha on Samantha-Chaitanya divorce

During a recent interaction, Konda Surekha claimed that KT Rama Rao demanded Samantha be sent to him in exchange for sparing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre from demolition. According to the Telangana minister, Samantha refused to comply which ultimately resulted in her and Naga Chaitanya divorcing. The Deccan Herald quoted Surekha saying, “KTR asked to send Samantha in return for not demolishing the N-convention centre. Nagarjuna forced Samantha to go to KTR, but she said no. That led to divorce.”

Speaking to the media, Surekha also claimed, “It is KT Rama Rao because of whom 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.”

The ‘Brahmastra’ actor’s convention centre was partially demolished on August 24, 2024, by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) for encroaching on lake buffer zones
