Venkatesh Daggubati wrote, "It deeply saddens me to see a personal situation being used as political ammunition. It is unfortunate that someone in a position of responsibility has chosen to weaponize a private matter for political gain. Our cinema family is built on mutual respect, hard work, and immense dedication to our craft and our personal lives. Public figures have an ethical duty to maintain dignity in public discourse. Dragging private lives into the political arena serves no one and only adds to the pain of those involved. I urge people in such important leadership positions to exercise restraint and empathy. Let's be reminded that our actions and words carry weight—let's use them to uplift, not to tear down. #FilmIndustryWillNotTolerate"
Manchu Lakshmi wrote, "It’s so disheartening that every time a politician craves attention, they throw a bunch of actors under the bus. It’s infuriating ! And when something terrible happens in the state, they expect actors to stand behind them, pushing a political agenda. How is this fair? Why are we expected to stay silent just because we live in glasshouses? The pain cuts deeper when this comes from a woman. Have some respect for those who dedicate their lives to entertain, not to be used for political games. This stings, and it’s deeply unfair."
Public Outrage of Amala Akkineni
Amala Akkineni, the veteran actress and Nagarjuna’s wife did not stay silent in public but rather went on social networks with what she felt was shock turned to rage in her regard. And in great outrage, in one of her posts, the former warned the minister stating that her escapism through ‘scandals’ has to stop and all the congress leaders including Rahul must restrain their politicians from making such nonsense.
Amala criticized her, saying the minister was asking, “Madam Minister, do you ask for filthy tales about my husband from deplorable people whom you depend on for lies? This is shameful”. Amala criticized her writing.
‘It means there will be condemnation of Konda Surekha.’
After much hue and cry, it looks like Konda Surekha has taken back the statement. Still, it is too late for such measures for the damage has already been reported. This incident has brought to the fore the exasperation in the film industry over being dragged into political fights with many urging better conduct from those in the public eye.
The film fraternity has been quite forthright about this kind of defamatory comment and has warned the politicians regarding proper decorum and more emphasis on ruling than doing drama.
