Konda Surekha issues apology to Nagarjuna, family for her Oct 2024 remarks

In a surprising move, Endowments Minister Konda Surekha issued a statement after midnight on Tuesday apologising for her October 2024 remarks against actor Nagarjuna and his family.

The statement, posted on social media, came abruptly, taking everyone by surprise since there was no mention of why the sudden change of mind. The Minister had retracted her statement against actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu after the backlash but had not apologised to Nagarjuna and his



family.

Speculation is rife that she issued the statement before the court delivers its verdict on the case.

Here is the full version of Surekha’s apology:

“I would wish to clarify that the statement I had made in relation to @iamnagarjuna Garu was not intended to hurt Nagarjuna Garu or his family members.

I had no intention of hurting or defaming Akkineni Nagarjuna Garu or his family members.
