Several Telugu actors including Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun and Jr NTR have slammed Telangana Minister Konda Surekha over her alleged remarks linking the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu to Bharat Rashtra Samiti Working President KT Rama Rao.

The actors shared their thoughts along with the common hashtag #FilmIndustryWillNotTolerate on X.
Chiranjeevi slammed Surekha in a long tweet as he wrote, " I am extremely pained to see the disgraceful remarks made by an honourable woman minister.It is a shame that celebs and members of the film fraternity become soft targets as they provide instant reach and attention. We asFilm Industry stand united in opposing such vicious verbal assaults on our members.No one should stoop to this level for scoring political points by dragging unconnected people and more so women into their political slugfest and make distasteful fictional allegations.

We choose our leaders to make the society a better place to live in, and not contaminate it by lowering the discourse. Politicians and people in honourable positions should set better examples.Trust the concerned will make amends and withdraw these malicious remarks immediately."


Filmmaker SS Rajamouli urged the politician to respect boundaries and maintain dignity. "Respect boundaries, maintain dignity. Baseless allegations are intolerable, especially when made by public officials!" Rajamouli wrote.

RRR actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR too condemned the scathing remarks made by the Congress leader. Allu Arjun too condemned the politician's remarks.

Vijay Deverakonda wrote, "Struggling to express in decent language my thoughts and feelings on what happened, today’s politics, politicians and their behaviour. Just want to remind many politicians out there that we vote for them to look after us, to talk about infrastructure and investment , bring in jobs and prosperity, talk about health and improve education and facilities, help us grow..We cannot allow or be ok with this as people. Politics cannot get any lower. Enough."


What is the controversy about?

Telangana's Forest and Environment Minister Konda Surekha sparked controversy after she accused BRS leader KTR of being linked to drug-related parties and alleging his involvement in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce.

Speaking to the media at an event, she made derogatory statements against KTR, the Akkineni family, and Samantha. She alleged that many female actors in the Telugu film industry cut short their careers because of KTR's involvement.

Surekha even alleged that KTR asked for sexual favours from the Akkineni family before demolishing the family-owned N-convention centre. She stated that this controversy led to the divorce of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.
