Samantha Ruth Prabhu Responds to Claims KTR Caused Her Divorce with Naga Chaitanya: ‘Keep My Name Out'

Samantha Ruth Prabhu Responds: Samantha Ruth Prabhu has responded to Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s shocking claims. Surekha recently said that BRS president KT Rama Rao was responsible for Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce. According to Surekha, KTR’s interference caused problems in the Akkineni family which led to the big divorce.

Konda Surekha said that KTR asked to send Samantha to him in return for not demolishing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre. When Samantha refused, it led to her separation from Naga Chaitanya. “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’s why divorce,” Surekha told Deccan Herald.

N-Convention Centre owned by Nagarjuna was partially demolished on August 24, 2024 by Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) as it was encroaching on lake buffer zones. Nagarjuna got a stay order from the High Court the same day and posted an official statement on his social media. Read the statement below:

Dear all,
fans and well-wishers,

News about celebrities, can often be exaggerated and speculated for effect.
I would like to reiterate that the land on which N-convention has been built is a Patta Documented land. Not even one cent of the land beyond that has been encroached…

Speaking to 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.”

Responding to the claim, Samantha took to Instagram to issue a strongly-worded statement. “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,” she wrote.

Directly addressing Surekha, Samantha added, “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.”

Samantha was also clear in her request for people to stop speculating about her divorce. “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. Could you please keep my name out of political battles? I have always remained non-political and wish to continue doing so.”

Naga Chaitanya slammed Konda Surekha’s claims and addressed the minister directly in his post: “Today, the claim made by Minister Konda Surekha Garu is not only false, it is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.”

He also said such statements hurt the people involved and promote exploitation of celebrities’ personal lives for media. “Women deserve to be supported and respected. Taking advantage and exploiting the personal life decisions of celebrities for the sake of media headlines is shameful,” Chaitanya concluded, urging the minister to be more responsible with her words.

In response to these allegations, Nagarjuna Akkineni has come out strongly against these. On X (formerly Twitter) Nagarjuna expressed his anger over the family attack.

He wrote, “I strongly condemn the remarks made by Honourable Minister Mrs. Konda Surekha. It is inappropriate to involve the personal lives of film stars, who stay away from politics, to attack your political opponents. I urge you to respect others’ privacy. As a woman in a position of responsibility, your statements and accusations against our family are baseless and irrelevant. I request that you take back your comments immediately.”

Naga Chaitanya has moved on in his life. He is now engaged to Sobhita Dhulipala. Chaitanya’s father Nagarjuna Akkineni welcomed Sobhita into the family publicly and confirmed the engagement through a social media post. Earlier Nagarjuna said the couple chose the engagement date after consulting with family astrologers.
