A couple of hours ago, Samantha took to her Instagram Stories and issued a strong statement.

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.”

The ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ actress further added, “Our choice to keep things private doesn’t invite misrepresentation.

Surekha on Samantha-Chaitanya divorce

During a recent interaction, Konda Surekha claimed that KT Rama Rao demanded Samantha be sent to him in exchange for sparing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre from demolition. According to the Telangana minister, Samantha refused to comply which ultimately resulted in her and Naga Chaitanya divorcing. The Deccan Herald quoted Surekha saying, “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 led to divorce.”

Speaking to the 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.”

The ‘Brahmastra’ actor’s convention centre was partially demolished on August 24, 2024, by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) for encroaching on lake buffer zones
