Minister Konda Surekha has issued a clarification on social media regarding her earlier comments about Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna. In her post, she emphasized that her remarks were never intended to offend or disrespect Nagarjuna or his family.
“I want to clarify that the statement I made about Nagarjuna Garu was not meant 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 attracted attention as the legal case is still ongoing, with many seeing it as an attempt to resolve the issue peacefully.
Previously, while criticizing K T Rama Rao (KTR), Surekha had made objectionable remarks about Nagarjuna’s family and Samantha, which angered the actor. Although she had apologized earlier on social media, Nagarjuna chose to pursue legal action.
However, some observers have noted that Surekha’s recent clarification does not specifically mention Samantha, who was also reportedly hurt by the earlier remarks. Many feel it would have been more appropriate to include her name while expressing regret.
