Samantha's Latest Reaction to Konda Surekha's Comments!

Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's comments on the separation of actress Samantha and actor Naga Chaitanya have been the talk of the cine town. Surekha claimed that former minister KTR was behind their separation and charged that KTR has ruined a lot of women from the Telugu film industry.

Chiranjeevi, NTR, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun are just a few top stars from Tollywood, who are very outraged by the minister's accusations. Samantha, while speaking in an interview, thanked her colleagues for their support and cited that: "The industry stood by my side and gave me the courage. Love and faith helped me recover fast from the controversy."

Naga Chaitanya condemned the remarks by the minister terming them "baseless and ridiculous." His father, Akkineni Nagarjuna has condemned his remarks, and reportedly he has filed a lawsuit against her. Naga Chaitanya's brother, Akhil Akkineni labelled the statements made by Surekha as "demonic nonsense."
