Nagarjuna Smiles In FIRST Appearance Amid Legal Battle Over Naga Chaitanya's Divorce, Meets Chiranjeevi

Nagarjuna was spotted for the first time since he and his family were dragged into an unfortunate controversy revolving around Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s divorce. The Telugu superstar has sued Telangana minister K Surekha over her claims that K. T. Rama Rao’s interference caused a rift in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s marriage, resulting in their divorce. He filed another Rs 100 crore defamation case.

Amid the legal process, Nagarjuna was spotted at the Hyderabad Airport. The actor arrived at the airport at the same time as Megastar Chiranjeevi. The duo greeted each other with big smiles and even exchanged a hug before they proceeded into the airport together. Both the stars maintained distance from the media at the airport.

Watch the video below:

Nagarjuna filed a defamation case against Surekha last week after she claimed that KT Rama Rao demanded that Samantha be sent to him in exchange for sparing Nagarjuna Akkineni’s N-Convention Centre from demolition. Surekha claimed that Samantha refused and it led to her separation from Naga Chaitanya. “KTR asked to send Samantha in return for not demolishing the N-convention centre. Nagarjuna forced Samantha to go to KTR, but she said no. That led to divorce,” Surekha was quoted as saying by Deccan Herald.

Speaking to Times Now last week, Nagarjuna said, “We filed a criminal defamation case yesterday. We are in the process of filing another Rs 100-crore defamation lawsuit against her. Her outrageous comments cannot be allowed to slide under the crack. She now says she is withdrawing her remarks. She has apparently apologised to Samantha. What about my family? Not a word of apology to me and to my family!”

When asked if an apology from the minister would lead to the withdrawal of this lawsuit, the actor said, “No. Not at all. This is no longer personal. The slander has gone far beyond just me and my family. The support we’ve received from the biggest to the smallest of names in the Telugu industry has made me realise we are in the process of stemming the rot that has seeped into the core of our system. You can’t use our names for political gains. We in the entertainment industry won’t be soft targets anymore. It’s as simple as that. I am hoping that our legal action against the lady will caution other politicians from using our names in a slanderous way.”

He was summoned to appear in court earlier this week to record his statement.
