Nagarjuna Files Complaint Against Telangana Minister Over Remarks On Samantha-Naga Chaitanya Divorce

Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has taken legal action against Telangana Congress Minister Konda Surekha over defamatory remarks involving his son Naga Chaitanya's divorce from actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The controversy arose after Surekha allegedly made baseless claims, suggesting that the couple’s separation had political connections, including references to BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) and inappropriate allegations of sexual favors. Outraged by these unfounded accusations, Nagarjuna filed both criminal and civil defamation suits to protect his family’s integrity and seek justice for their tarnished reputation.

The divorce between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, one of the most high-profile splits in the Indian entertainment industry, has been a sensitive issue for both families. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, officially parted ways in 2021, but details surrounding their separation have largely remained private. Samantha and Naga Chaitanya have maintained that the split was mutual and respectful, urging the public and media to respect their privacy during this difficult time. However, Konda Surekha’s remarks stirred controversy, leading to a strong legal response from Nagarjuna.

Konda Surekha's comments reportedly implied that Chaitanya’s marriage was impacted by external political pressure, which she linked to KTR’s involvement. These allegations not only aimed to malign the Akkineni family but also suggested improper political behavior. This prompted Nagarjuna to assert that his family’s dignity had been gravely insulted, stating that they have always conducted themselves with integrity in both public and private matters.

Naga Chaitanya has also expressed discontent over the statements, labeling them hurtful and untruthful. His father’s legal move is seen as a strong stand to safeguard their family’s honor. Nagarjuna's action underlines his commitment to addressing such defamatory statements through legal channels and seeking accountability from those who spread false narratives.
