Akkineni family responds to Konda Surekha's derogatory comments

Hyderabad: On October 2, 2024, a Tollywood actress publicly condemned remarks made by Konda Surekha, the Minister for Forest and Environment and Member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly from Warangal East.

The controversy erupted during a media briefing, where Surekha made controversial comments involving a politician and Tollywood actors.

The Akkineni family responded strongly to the allegations. Akkineni Nagarjuna condemned Surekha’s comments on social media, calling them “irrelevant and false” and demanding a retraction. He stated, “Don’t use the lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticize your opponents. As a woman in a responsible position, your comments and accusations against our family are completely irrelevant and false. I request you to withdraw your comments immediately.”

Akkineni Amala expressed her shock at the minister’s remarks, saying, “Shocked to hear a woman minister turn into a demon, conjuring evil allegations and preying on decent citizens as fuel for a political war. This is really shameful. If leaders lower themselves into the gutter, what will happen to our country?”

Akhil Akkineni voiced his support for his mother Amala, stating, “I support every word you have said, and I’m with you and the family. I’m sorry that you have to address this nonsense, but sometimes we have no choice but to deal with such sociopaths.”

Sushanth and Naga Susheela also condemned the minister's comments, urging her to retract her statements and apologize. Sushanth remarked, “With power comes responsibility! It is shocking to hear a Minister make such controversial statements involving my family without any truth.”
