In a major controversy shaking the Telugu film industry, several prominent Tollywood stars have expressed outrage over Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s recent comments. The minister’s allegations that BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) was involved in troubling members of the film industry have sparked a heated backlash from both actors and actresses.Konda Surekha made sensational claims, suggesting that KTR had contributed to personal and professional disruptions within Tollywood. Among the most shocking allegations, she insinuated that KTR played a role in the divorce of actors Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. She also accused KTR of promoting substance abuse within the industry and causing several heroines to leave their careers early due to his alleged interference.Tollywood stars did not take these comments lightly. Leading the charge was actress Samantha, who responded with a strong message on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Is my personal life so small? My divorce was amicable, and I am above politics.” Samantha’s marriage to Naga Chaitanya, which ended in 2021, has been the subject of much media scrutiny, but this new accusation prompted her to speak out directly.Veteran actor Nagarjuna, father of Naga Chaitanya, was quick to defend his family. He expressed deep anger over the remarks, calling them “completely absurd and false.” Nagarjuna urged Konda Surekha to withdraw her statements immediately.Actor Nani, known for his straightforward approach, also voiced his frustration, questioning the minister’s sense of responsibility. “Looking at the way you are talking, do you have any responsibility towards your people?” Nani wrote on social media.Veteran actress Khushboo Sundar joined the chorus of disapproval, stating, “We cannot stoop down to your level and talk.” Similarly, character artist Hema emphasized the dignity of those working in the industry, asserting, “Even the wild people who work in the industry have self-respect.”The Tollywood community is unified in its response, with many stars urging political leaders to avoid dragging the film industry into their agendas. Konda Surekha’s comments have not only stirred controversy but also led to a larger debate about the intersection of politics and cinema, with celebrities insisting that their personal lives and professional careers should not be used for political gains.
