The nasty comments made by Telangana Congress Minister Konda Surekha regarding Samantha and her divorce from former husband Naga Chaitanya have drawn condemnation from Tollywood celebrities, who have come forward to support Samantha.
Chiranjeevi, Jr. NTR, Allu Arjun, and many others have slammed the minister’s remarks. The latest to join them is Mahesh Babu, who posted on X, “Extremely pained by the comments made by Minister Konda Surekha garu on fellow members of our film fraternity. As a father of a daughter, as a husband to a wife, and as son to a mother… I am deeply anguished by the unacceptable remarks and language used by a woman minister on another woman.”
He added, “Freedom of speech can be exercised as long as it does not hurt other’s sentiments. I strongly condemn the cheap and baseless comments made and request people in public domain to refrain from making the film fraternity a soft target. The women of our country and our film fraternity should be treated with utmost respect and dignity.”
Many more artists have come forward, demanding a public apology from the minister. Stay tuned for developments on this issue.
