Telangana Minister Konda Surekha sparked controversy by linking actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s divorce to politician KT Rama Rao. She alleged that Rama Rao used to blackmail actresses, which she claimed led to Samantha’s separation from Naga Chaitanya. Samantha and Nagarjuna Akkineni strongly condemned Surekha’s remarks, while Rama Rao issued a defamation notice.
