Hyderabad: Actress Amala Akkineni has publicly condemned Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s recent comments regarding the Akkineni family, labeling them as disgraceful and inappropriate for a person in her position. Amala expressed her discontent through a social media post, where she emphasized the need for accountability among public leaders.
In her statement, Amala stated, “It is shocking for a woman minister to make baseless allegations and target individuals for political gain. Are you really believing such individuals who spread false narratives about my husband? This is truly shameful. If leaders behave in this manner, what will happen to our country? Rahul Gandhi, if you believe in respecting individuals, please ensure that your leaders are held accountable. I urge this woman minister to apologize to my family and take steps to retract her comments. Protect the citizens of this nation.”
The controversy erupted after Konda Surekha made critical remarks about KTR, the president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), during a media briefing on Wednesday. Surekha accused KTR of being responsible for certain actresses marrying quickly and leaving the film industry. Additionally, she implicated him in the recent challenges faced by the Akkineni family, stirring significant backlash from fans and industry insiders.
Many critics pointed out the irresponsibility of discussing personal matters of individuals, especially by someone in a leadership role. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, prompting calls for accountability and responsible communication from public figures.
As the situation continues to unfold, it raises important questions about the ethical responsibilities of politicians and the impact of their words on individuals and families. It remains to be seen how both Konda Surekha and the Akkineni family will address the ongoing controversy and its implications for their reputations in the public eye.
Shocked to hear a woman minister turn into a demon, conjuring evil fictions allegations, preying on decent citizens as fuel for a political war.
Madam Minister, do you rely and believe people with no decency to feed you utterly scandalous stories about my husband without an iota…
