Telugu actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has found herself at the center of a fresh controversy following statements made by Telangana minister Konda Surekha regarding her divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya. The minister’s remarks, which included shocking allegations involving prominent political figures, have sparked widespread discussion on social media.
Konda Surekha claimed that Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s high-profile divorce was linked to an alleged demand made by Telangana minister K. T. Rama Rao. According to Surekha, Rama Rao supposedly asked for Samantha to be “brought to him” in exchange for ensuring that actor Nagarjuna’s N-Convention Center would not be demolished. Surekha implied that Samantha’s refusal led to her separation from Chaitanya, son of actor Nagarjuna.
Both Samantha and Naga Chaitanya quickly issued public statements refuting Surekha’s allegations. In their responses, they categorically denied the claims and expressed their disappointment over the minister’s remarks. Chaitanya’s statement, however, attracted its own share of criticism on social media. The actor referred to Samantha as his “former spouse” in his post, a choice of words that irked many of her supporters, as they felt he could have mentioned her name directly.

Despite the controversy swirling around her, Samantha has maintained her silence on the issue of Chaitanya’s social media post. Instead, she has been drawing attention with her cryptic messages on Instagram. Her latest story, which included the words, “You don’t have to do something huge to make a huge difference,” has caught the attention of her followers, sparking speculation about its meaning.
The couple, who were once one of the most beloved pairs in the South Indian film industry, announced their separation in October 2021 after nearly four years of marriage. While they have both moved on professionally, public and media interest in their personal lives continues to make headlines, especially when new allegations arise.
As the debate over Konda Surekha’s claims continues, Samantha has chosen to focus on her career and upcoming projects, letting her silence speak volumes amid the ongoing drama.
