Allu Arjun and Ravi Teja Condemn Telangana Minister’s Derogatory Remarks

Superstars Allu Arjun and Ravi Teja have voiced their strong disapproval of Telangana Minister Konda Surekha after she made derogatory remarks linking BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao to the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This comment has sparked outrage within the South Indian film industry, with many rallying under the hashtag #FilmIndustryWillNotTolerate.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ravi Teja expressed his disbelief at Konda’s comments, stating, “I’m appalled by a woman minister resorting to demonic tactics, fabricating vile allegations against the respectful ones in the name of political warfare. This is beyond shameful. No one should drag innocent individuals, especially women, into their political rivalries. Leaders should set a positive example and enhance societal values, not diminish them. #FilmIndustryWillNotTolerate.”

Similarly, Allu Arjun shared his sentiments, emphasizing the disrespectful nature of the remarks. He stated, “I strongly condemn the baseless derogatory comments made about film personalities and film families. This behavior is deeply disrespectful and goes against the values of our Telugu culture. Such irresponsible actions should not be accepted as normal. I urge the parties involved to act more responsibly and respect individual privacy, especially towards women. We must promote respect and dignity in society as a whole.”

Both actors' statements reflect a broader sentiment within the industry, standing up against the politicization of personal matters and calling for greater respect for individuals, particularly women.

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu also addressed the issue on their respective social media profiles, reinforcing the message against linking personal relationships to political agendas.

The film industry’s unified response highlights the importance of maintaining dignity and respect in public discourse, especially regarding sensitive personal matters. As the situation develops, it remains clear that the South film fraternity is committed to defending its members against derogatory remarks and upholding the values of respect and privacy.
