Shameless Politics: Prakash Raj Slams Konda Surekha's Remarks On Samantha-Naga Chaitanya's Divorce

Veteran actor Prakash Raj, who was recently in the news for criticising Andhra Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan over Tirupati Laddu row, has now slammed a Congress leader for commenting on Naga Chaitanya and Samantha's divorce.

Raj shared a clip of Telangana Congress leader and minister Konda Surekha's video and said, "What shameless politics... women who act in movies are small?.."

What's in the video?
In a viral video, Surekha claimed that KTR was involved in the couple's separation and further alleged that he had influenced many actors to marry and leave the film industry. She also accused KTR of drug use.

"He took drugs, got addicted, and hosted rave parties. He manipulated their emotions and later blackmailed them," Konda Surekha stated. However, the BRS leader is yet to respond to the allegations.

Warangal East MLA Konda Surekha is currently serving as the Cabinet Minister for Forest and Environment, and Endowments in the Revanth Reddy's government.

For unversed, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha were married for four years before parting ways in 2021. However, the comments look strange as the former couple ended their relationship, three years ago.

In a joint statement, the former couple on their divorce had said: "To all our well-wishers, after much deliberation and thought, Chay and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us. We request our fans, well-wishers and the media to support us during this difficult time and give us the privacy we need to move on. Thanking you for your support,"
