Naga Chaitanya Faces Backlash for Avoiding Samantha’s Name in Statement Against Konda Surekha
Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya is facing criticism for omitting Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s name in his response to Telangana minister Konda Surekha’s comments about their divorce. Surekha suggested that political pressure played a role in their 2022 split. Chaitanya issued a statement addressing these claims, but referred to Samantha only as his “earlier spouse,” a choice that drew the ire of many of Samantha’s fans. Social media was quick to react, accusing Chaitanya of disrespecting Samantha by not naming her. Some pointed out the irony in Chaitanya’s silence during previous incidents where Samantha faced public criticism, including allegations of infidelity following their divorce, but now choosing to speak up only when his family was involved. Comments comparing Samantha to Voldemort—the Harry Potter character who “must not be named”—dominated Twitter. Chaitanya’s vague response led to widespread backlash, questioning whether the actor truly stood by his former wife in challenging times. Despite this, Chaitanya and his father have filed a defamation case against Surekha. The incident has sparked a broader conversation on the role of public figures in personal matters and how their choices can shape their public image. Fans remain divided over the actor’s approach to handling personal relationships in the public eye.
