In a shocking turn of events this week, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's much-discussed separation from former husband Naga Chaitanya was in the spotlight once again after Konda Surekha made some rather shocking and below-the-belt claims. The demeaning comments directed at the former couple also implicated BRS president KT Rama Rao, with claims that he was responsible for their separation. These remarks have not gone down well with many, as both Samantha and Naga have criticized them. Now, Pushpa star Allu Arjun has come out in support of Samantha, condemning Surekha's comments and calling them disrespectful. Fans are agreeing with the star, and the comments section is flooded with reactions.

Allu Arjun Backs Samantha

In case you haven't caught up, Konda Surekha claimed that KT Rama Rao was responsible for Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya's divorce. She alleged that Rao's interference caused instability in the Akkineni family. Surekha even stated that KTR demanded that Samantha be sent to him if Nagarjuna Akkineni wanted to save his N-Convention Centre from demolition. This sparked controversy, and now Allu Arjun has condemned the comments, urging the party to take action and not promote individuals who make such claims.

"I strongly condemn the baseless, derogatory comments made about film personalities and film families. This behavior is deeply disrespectful and goes against the values of our Telugu culture. Such irresponsible actions should not be accepted as normal. I urge the parties involved to act more responsibly and respect individual privacy, especially towards women. We must promote respect and dignity in society as a whole," he wrote.

Samantha and Naga Chaitanya's Reactions

Samantha responded to the claims via an Instagram statement. She said, "Konda Surekha Garu, I am proud of what this journey has made me into—please don't trivialize it. I hope you realize that your words carry significant weight as a minister. I implore you to be responsible and respectful of individuals' privacy."

Naga Chaitanya also had a strong reaction, calling Konda Surekha's claims ridiculous. In his statement, he explained that their divorce was a mutual decision made peacefully, owing to different life goals and in the interest of moving forward with respect. Addressing the rumors, he added, "There have been various baseless and completely ridiculous gossips on the matter so far. I have remained silent out of deep respect for my former spouse and my family."
