Telangana Minister Konda Surekha Apologizes to Nagarjuna After Defamation Case
A politician named Konda Surekha made some public comments last year, saying a politician named KTR was the reason for a celebrity couple's divorce.
The actor from that couple, Nagarjuna, felt this was unfair and hurt his family's reputation, so he took her to court.
Now, the politician has apologized on social media, saying she didn't mean to cause harm and is taking back her words.
However, some people online are not happy and think she should also apologize for comments made about the actress and KTR.
The politician has expressed regret for any upset caused.
