Minister Konda Surekha has issued a clarification on social media regarding her earlier remarks about Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna.
In her post, she emphasized that her comments were never meant to offend or disrespect Nagarjuna or his family.
“I want to clarify that the statement I made about Nagarjuna Garu was not intended to hurt him or any of his family members. I had no intention of causing pain or defaming them in any way. I regret if my words gave a wrong impression and I hereby withdraw those remarks,” Surekha wrote.
Her post has gained attention as the legal case is still under process. Many see this as an attempt to settle the issue peacefully.
Earlier, while criticizing K T Rama Rao (KTR), Konda Surekha had made objectionable remarks about Nagarjuna’s family and Samantha, which angered the actor. Though she later apologized on social media, Nagarjuna decided to proceed legally.
However, some people have pointed out that in her recent apology, she did not mention Samantha by name.
They believe Samantha was also deeply hurt by those remarks and that it would have been better if Surekha had included her name while expressing regret.
