Telangana Minister Konda Surekha, who made controversial remarks about Samantha's divorce, has clarified her statement. She faced severe backlash from the fans and mega stars of the Telugu film industry over her statement.

Taking to X (Twitter), she clarified: "My comments are meant to question a leader's belittling of women and not to hurt the sentiments of Honorable actress Samantha. The way you have grown up with self-power is not only an admiration for me but also an ideal...If you or your fans are offended by my comments, I unconditionally retract my comments. Don't think otherwise."

These were the clarifications given by Telangana Minister Konda Surekha regarding her controversial remarks about Samantha's divorce. She made contentious statements linking Samantha's divorce with former minister K.T. Rama Rao. This has been a matter of debate on social media since last night.

నా వ్యాఖ్యల ఉద్దేశం మహిళల పట్ల ఒక నాయకుడి చిన్నచూపు ధోరణిని ప్రశ్నించడమే కానీ గౌరవ నటి సమంత గారి మనోభావాలను దెబ్బతీయడం కాదు.
