Tollywood actor Akkineni Akhil has made it clear that Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s recent comments on the divorce of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu will not be forgiven.

Akhil’s reaction has further fueled the controversy surrounding the comments.
Akkineni Akhil Reacts to Konda Surekha Controversy
In his strongly worded statement, Akhil said there is “no space for forgiveness for people like her in our society.” He criticized Konda Surekha for her “baseless and ridiculous statements,” which he described as “vulgar and disgusting.” The actor expressed deep disappointment in the Minister, stating that as a public servant, she should have upheld moral values instead of making irresponsible remarks that targeted his family.
“The way she has acted is shameful and unforgivable,” Akhil declared, making it clear that he will not remain silent as a family member and as a representative of the film fraternity. He stressed that justice must be served to individuals who attempt to tarnish reputations for personal or political gain.
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s Divorce: The Minister’s Comments
The controversy began when Konda Surekha, while speaking to the media on Wednesday, made unsubstantiated allegations regarding Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce, blaming Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao for the split. Her comments sparked a wave of criticism, with both Naga Chaitanya and Samantha responding to refute the claims. Samantha clarified that their divorce was mutual and amicable, and expressed her dismay at the Minister’s remarks.
Konda Surekha later retracted her statements regarding the couple, admitting that her comments were an “unexpected slip of the tongue.” She expressed regret for hurting anyone, especially after seeing the tweets from Samantha and the Akkineni family. However, she did not back down from her accusations against KTR and demanded that he apologize for derogatory social media posts about her.
Nagarjuna Files Defamation Case
As the controversy continued to escalate, Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya’s father, took legal action against Konda Surekha. On Thursday, the actor filed a defamation case in a Hyderabad court, accusing the Minister of deliberately spreading falsehoods with the intent to damage his personal, professional, and family reputation.
In his complaint, Nagarjuna highlighted the baseless nature of the Minister’s statements and emphasized the emotional distress they have caused his family. He also called for appropriate legal measures to ensure accountability for the remarks.
Akhil Akkineni’s strong reaction to Konda Surekha’s comments on Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce highlights the ongoing tension surrounding the controversy. His words reflect the deep hurt caused by the Minister’s remarks, which have not only targeted his family but also brought unwanted attention to a personal matter. As the Akkineni family continues to stand together against the defamatory statements, justice may soon be served in court.
The baseless and ridiculous statements made by Konda Surekha are vulgar and disgusting. Being a public servant who is expected to protect the people she has decided to forget her morals and social welfare. The way she has acted is shameful and unforgivable. There are respected…
