Did Konda Surekha apologize to Samantha via her official account?
Minister Konda Surekha recently became part of a controversy after making comments regarding actress Samantha and her divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya. Her remarks drew criticism, with many expressing concern over how she addressed their personal issues. Following the backlash, a post circulated on social media suggesting that Surekha had apologized for her comments.
In the viral tweet, it was claimed that Minister Surekha clarified her intentions, stating that her comments were not meant to hurt Samantha. Instead, she aimed to challenge certain leaders’ attitudes toward women. She acknowledged that Samantha’s journey toward self-reliance is commendable and emphasized that she never intended to offend her. The tweet allegedly included a message saying, “My comments are meant to question a leader’s belittling attitude towards women, not to hurt your sentiments. If my words hurt you or your fans, I unconditionally retract my comments.”
However, it is crucial to note that the tweet in question did not originate from Konda Surekha’s official account, despite its viral nature. There was confusion as people mistakenly attributed the post to another account.
నా వ్యాఖ్యల ఉద్దేశం మహిళల పట్ల ఒక నాయకుడి చిన్నచూపు ధోరణిని ప్రశ్నించడమే కానీ మీ @Samanthaprabhu2 మనోభావాలను దెబ్బతీయడం కాదు.
స్వయం శక్తితో మీరు ఎదిగిన తీరు నాకు కేవలం అభిమానం మాత్రమే కాదు.. ఆదర్శం కూడా..

Samantha, for her part, responded to the situation with a statement that did not directly name the minister. She expressed her disappointment regarding public comments about her personal life, highlighting that divorce is a deeply private matter. Samantha urged everyone, especially public figures, to avoid speculation and to refrain from making personal matters a topic of political discourse.
Samantha stated, “It takes courage and strength to be a woman and face challenges in the entertainment industry. As a public figure, your words carry weight, and I ask for responsibility and respect when discussing personal issues. My divorce was mutual and amicable, and I would like to keep it private.”
