Telangana Minister Konda Surekha accused BRS leader KT Rama Rao of tapping actresses' phones and blackmailing them.

Telangana Minister Konda Surekha issued a statement on Thursday clarifying her earlier remarks regarding the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, which had sparked controversy after she linked it to Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao.


In a post on X, Surekha explained that her comments were intended to highlight KT Rama Rao’s alleged disrespect towards women, not to offend Samantha or her fans. She expressed her willingness to retract her statement unconditionally if anyone, including Samantha, was hurt by her words.


"My remarks were aimed at questioning a leader’s demeaning behavior towards women, not to upset Samantha Prabhu. I admire your [Samantha's] self-made success, which is inspiring. If my comments offended you or your fans, I unconditionally take them back. Please don’t misunderstand," Surekha clarified.


What Did Konda Surekha Say?

According to ANI, Surekha had alleged that KT Rama Rao was involved in tapping the phones of actresses and blackmailing them. She reportedly said, "KT Rama Rao is responsible for Samantha’s divorce. He was a minister at the time and would tap actresses' phones, identify their vulnerabilities, and blackmail them." She also claimed that he would get them addicted to drugs as part of this exploitation, and that "Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, and their families are aware of this."


In response, Samantha Ruth Prabhu addressed the remarks, stating that her divorce was a "personal matter" and not influenced by external factors. Through a statement on Instagram, she clarified that her separation from Naga Chaitanya was done by "mutual consent and amicably," urging people to stop speculating about it.

Samantha Replies

Nagarjuna Akkineni, Naga Chaitanya’s father, also criticized Surekha’s comments, saying she should not exploit the personal lives of film stars to target political rivals, and called for respect for privacy.


Meanwhile, KT Rama Rao issued a defamation notice to Konda Surekha, accusing her of trying to damage his reputation and demanding an immediate retraction of her statements.
