Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Respond to K Surekha's Claims About Their Divorce - Read More

Naga Chaitanya has spoken out against the false claims made by Telangana Minister Konda Surekha regarding his divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu. He referred to these allegations as "ridiculous" and called for respect towards personal matters. Following Samantha's strong response to Surekha's statements, Chaitanya felt compelled to defend his family and privacy. The controversy began when Surekha suggested that the BRS president, KT Rama Rao, was responsible for Naga Chaitanya and Samantha's separation. In his social media post, Chaitanya reacted firmly, labeling the claims as absurd and clarifying the reality of the situation.

Naga Chaitanya's Personal Reflection on Divorce

Chaitanya, who has often chosen to remain silent about his personal life, directly addressed the claims made by K Surekha. He remarked, “The decision of divorce is easily one of the most painful and unfortunate life decisions one has to make. After a lot of thought, a mutual decision was made by me and my former spouse to part ways.” He emphasized that their separation was a peaceful one, stemming from differing life goals. Chaitanya stressed that it was important for them to move forward with respect and dignity as mature individuals.

He further denounced the rampant rumors and gossip surrounding their divorce, which he deemed baseless and inappropriate. “There have been various baseless and completely ridiculous gossips on the matter so far. I have remained silent all this while out of deep respect for my earlier spouse as well as my family,” he stated. Chaitanya took a strong stance against Minister Konda Surekha's allegations, addressing her directly in his post: “Today, the claim made by Minister Konda Surekha Garu is not only false, it is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.” He highlighted how such comments not only hurt those involved but also contribute to the exploitation of celebrities' personal lives.

In his closing remarks, Chaitanya emphasized that women deserve respect and support. “Taking advantage and exploiting the personal life decisions of celebrities for the sake of media headlines is shameful,” he asserted. This statement resonates with Samantha Ruth Prabhu's earlier response to the allegations. She shared on Instagram, “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.”

Samantha's Call for Privacy

Samantha requested that others refrain from speculating about her divorce, asserting that it was a personal matter. She clarified, “"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. Konda Surekha Garu, I am proud of what this journey turned me into please don't trivialise it,"

Further she added,"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. Our choice to keep things private doesn't invite misrepresentation. To clarify: my divorce was mutual consent and amicable, with no political conspiracy involved."

Samantha concluded the post by writing, "Could you please keep my name out of political battles? I have always remained non-political and wish to continue doing so. Samantha"

The Controversial Claims of K Surekha

K Surekha had claimed that Samantha's refusal to visit KTR at Nagarjuna’s family's request created conflicts within the Akkineni family, ultimately contributing to the couple's divorce. She suggested that this issue was tied to the recent demolition of Nagarjuna’s N Convention Centre. “KTR asked to send Samantha in return for not demolishing the N-convention center. Nagarjuna forced Samantha to go to KTR. Samantha said no. That led to divorce,” she stated.
