In October 2024, Konda Surekha drew criticism when she connected KTR to the divorce of Samantha and Chaitanya. She further alleged phone-tapping and blackmail of Tollywood actors, sparking backlash from the film industry and political circles.
Nagarjuna clarified that Chaitanya and Samantha, who married in 2017, separated later by mutual consent due to personal reasons. Both have since concentrated on their careers. He maintained that the minister's words were malicious and aimed at defaming the family.
The court is now reviewing the case and examining the submissions from Nagarjuna and Chaitanya. The proceedings continue, with the final outcome yet to be determined.
