Samantha visits temple in the midst of the ongoing controversy; sends Navratri wishes

In the midst of the ongoing controversy regarding politician Konda Surekha’s remarks about her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has sought comfort at the Linga Bhairavi temple in Coimbatore. The actress, who has been in the spotlight due to media attention, posted pictures of herself praying at the temple on her Instagram, expressing her gratitude to Goddess Devi.

Samantha is seen in profound prayer in the post shared on Instagram, she is wrapped in a red shawl. The actress captioned her heartfelt message, “I took your word for it. Thank you, Devi! Happy Navaratri to all of you. ❤️” What caught the attention of the netizens was the timing of her visit which was during the navratri.

Samantha’s fans swiftly inundated her post with encouraging messages. One remarked, “She lifted you up to bring you closer to her and to yourself ❤️ She is always present.” Another user commended the actress for celebrating Indian culture, stating, “Celebrities from the South uplift our traditions.” A different fan expressed, “No one can weaken a woman who draws her strength from Linga Bhairavi ❤️ Wishing you a blessed Navaratri.”

The actress’s visit follows closely after she addressed Konda Surekha’s contentious comments. Surekha alleged that Samantha’s divorce from Naga Chaitanya was tied to political conspiracies involving Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao. In reply, Samantha released a strong statement, affirming that her divorce was a mutual, amicable choice, with no political connections.

“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 by mutual consent and amicable, with no political conspiracy involved,” she stated.

Professionally, Samantha is presently preparing for her upcoming series, Citadel: Honey-Bunny, alongside Varun Dhawan. The action-thriller, which serves as a prequel to Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden’s Citadel, is set to debut on Amazon Prime on November 7.
