Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has filed a criminal and defamation case against Telangana Congress Minister Konda Surekha in the Nampally court. This legal action comes after the Minister’s recent controversial remarks about Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s divorce. Naga Chaitanya shared a copy of the complaint on X.
In the complaint, Nagarjuna accused Konda Surekha of intentionally making these statements to damage the Akkineni family’s public image. The case includes charges of criminal defamation, which may lead to legal consequences, along with a civil defamation suit seeking financial compensation for the harm caused.
Konda Surekha’s remarks sparked a major controversy after she accused BRS leader KTR of being linked to drug-related parties and suggested his involvement in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce. During a public event, she made derogatory comments about KTR, the Akkineni family, and Samantha, even alleging that KTR had asked for sexual favors from the Akkineni family before demolishing their N-convention center. She further claimed that this led to the couple’s divorce.
Earlier, Nagarjuna reacted on Konda Surekha’s remarks, calling them “irrelevant and false.” He strongly condemned the Minister’s statements and urged her to respect people’s privacy. In a tweet, he said, “I strongly condemn the comments made by the honorable Minister, Mrs. Konda Surekha. Film stars who stay away from politics should not be used in political criticism. Please respect other people’s privacy.”
This is not the first time Nagarjuna reacted on Konda Surekha’s comments, but this time he took legal action to defend his family’s reputation. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha publicly announced their separation in 2021, eventually finalizing their divorce.

India’s senior stars will need to step up as they face New Zealand in their opening Group A match of the Women’s T20 World Cup this Friday. The team is aiming for a strong start to erase the memories of previous near-misses in global tournaments.
For captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who is likely playing her last Women’s T20 World Cup, this match holds special significance. She has witnessed India’s past struggles, including the heartbreaking loss to Australia in the 2020 final in Melbourne.
This Indian squad is filled with talent, but so far, they have fallen short in clutch moments. Mental fragility seems to be their biggest challenge in major tournaments, and while they’ve addressed this with counseling sessions at the National Cricket Academy, it all comes down to executing strategies perfectly on the field.
Facing New Zealand, who may not be as highly rated as Australia, will still be a tough test for India. A win against them would boost India’s confidence, both mentally and tactically. It’s important, especially in a group that includes heavyweights like Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
India will rely heavily on key players like Harmanpreet, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, and Deepti Sharma. Mandhana and Shafali have been in great form, especially in the Asia Cup, though Harmanpreet has struggled a bit. They’ll need to find their rhythm for India to succeed, as the UAE pitches may not offer too many runs due to the heat wave.
India’s bowling attack, led by their spinners, will play a crucial role. With three pacers and a variety of spinners like Deepti, Radha Yadav, and Asha Shobhana, they can exploit the conditions to their advantage. However, New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine and with experienced players like Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu, will pose a challenge.
The Kiwis have a mix of seasoned and young players, including rising star Amelia Kerr, but their inexperience could be their weak point.
The match begins at 7.30 PM IST, and India will look to make a strong statement in their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign.






Last night, popular actress Samantha responded to Telangana Congress Minister Konda Surekha’s negative remarks about her divorce from Naga Chaitanya through an Instagram story. Samantha addressed the issue with grace and dignity, winning over fans and the public with how she stood up for herself.
Following Samantha’s heartfelt response and the widespread backlash since yesterday, it seems Konda Surekha has reconsidered her comments. The minister took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify her statements. She explained that her remarks were intended to criticize a leader for belittling women, not to hurt Samantha.
Konda Surekha, in her tweet, also praised Samantha for her self-made success and said she views her as an inspiration. She ended her message by saying that she would withdraw her comments unconditionally if Samantha or her fans were offended. Although Konda Surekha didn’t offer a direct apology, she urged Samantha not to “think otherwise.”
The controversy surrounding Konda Surekha Comments on Samantha Divorce has sparked much discussion, but the minister has now stepped back. While Konda Surekha’s comments on Samantha’s divorce caused a stir, her latest response seems to aim at resolving the issue.
నా వ్యాఖ్యల ఉద్దేశం మహిళల పట్ల ఒక నాయకుడి చిన్నచూపు ధోరణిని ప్రశ్నించడమే కానీ మీ @Samanthaprabhu2 మనోభావాలను దెబ్బతీయడం కాదు.
స్వయం శక్తితో మీరు ఎదిగిన తీరు నాకు కేవలం అభిమానం మాత్రమే కాదు.. ఆదర్శం కూడా..
