Amala Akkineni criticises Konda Surekha's remarks, calls for apology

HYDERABAD: Former actress Amala Akkineni has expressed her dismay at recent comments made by a woman minister (Konda Surekha), which she described as unfounded and harmful to her family.

In a strongly worded social media post, Amala criticised the minister for making "evil fictitious allegations" and using her family as a means to further political aims.

Amala questioned the minister's reliance on unverified and scandalous information. She described the remarks about her husband as utterly false, and stated that it was disgraceful for a public official to make such baseless accusations. Her post also raised concerns about the integrity of political leadership, highlighting the negative impact such behaviour could have on society.

In her message, Amala directly appealed to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, urging him to take action against the minister responsible. She requested that Gandhi instruct the minister to issue a public apology and retract the statements made about her family. Amala emphasised the importance of protecting citizens and upholding human decency, calling on political leaders to act responsibly in their public discourse.
