Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has responded to Congress leader and Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's remarks, alleging that BRS working president KT Rama Rao played a role in the divorce of his son Naga Chaitanya with the actor. Saying that she has always tried to be non-political, Samantha asked if her name could be kept out of political battles.
"To be a woman, To come out and work, To survive in a glamorous industry where women are more often than not treated as props, To fall in love & to fall out of love, To still stand up and fight....It takes a lot of courage and strength. Konda Surekha Garu, I am proud of what this journey turned me into please don't trivialise it," she wrote on the note that she shared on
Instagram.
Terming her divorce as a personal matter, she hoped that the monister realises the gravity her ords carry. "I hope you realise that your words carry significant weight as a minister. I implore you to be responsible and respectful of individuals' privacy. My divorce is a personal matter, and I request that you refrain from speculating about it. Our choice to keep things private doesn't invite misrepresentation. To clarify: my divorce was mutual consent and amicable, with no political conspiracy involved," she further wrote.
Samantha concluded the post by writing, "Could you please keep my name out of political battles? I have always remained non-political and wish to continue doing so. Samantha"
