After Nani, Jr NTR slams Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's remarks on Naga Chaitanya-Samantha divorce

Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's recent remarks suggesting that KT Rama Rao was responsible for the divorce of actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya have ignited a major controversy. Celebrities in the film industry, including Jr NTR, took to social media to express their disapproval.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Jr NTR stated that dragging personal lives into politics is unacceptable. He mentioned that public figures, especially those in positions of responsibility like Konda Surekha, should uphold dignity and respect for privacy. He expressed disappointment over the careless nature of such baseless statements, particularly concerning the film industry.

Jr NTR also wrote, "It’s disheartening to see baseless statements thrown around carelessly, especially about the film industry. We will not sit quietly while others make baseless allegations against us. We should rise above this and maintain respect for each other’s boundaries. Let’s ensure our society does not normalize such reckless behaviour in democratic India."

The Akkineni family and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have already shared their disapproval of the minister's statement. Similarly, other stars from the film industry came in support of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya. Natural star Nani also criticized the minister's remarks calling them irresponsible.

Meanwhile, Jr NTR is basking in the success of his latest film, 'Devara' directed by Koratala Siva which also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. The movie was released on September 27, 2024.
