The apology comes after months of silence from Nagarjuna, whose composed and dignified response during the controversy earned widespread praise. Instead of responding publicly, the superstar let the legal process take its course, a move fans and colleagues have celebrated as a display of true grace and poise.While this move addresses Nagarjuna, many social media users questioned why she had not extended the apology to Samantha Ruth Prabhu and KTR, who were also mentioned in her earlier statements. Some noted that her post was technically a withdrawal rather than a direct apology.

The controversy traces back to October 2, 2024, when Surekha made her remarks linking Samantha and Chaitanya’s divorce to KTR and making defamatory statements about Nagarjuna. Her comments faced widespread criticism, and she initially apologised to the Akkineni family and Samantha the following day. Despite this, Nagarjuna proceeded with the defamation case, citing harm to his family’s dignity, while KTR also filed a legal case against the minister.
