Rakul Preet Singh Slams Minister Konda Surekha's "Baseless" Accusations

Hyderabad, October 4 - Actress Rakul Preet Singh has fired back at Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's controversial remarks, condemning her "baseless and outrageous" accusations.

Surekha had claimed that Rakul, along with other actresses, hastily married and left the industry due to troubles with KTR and drug cases. Rakul vehemently denied these allegations, emphasizing her lack of involvement in politics.

"I urge you to refrain from using my name for political gain. Actors should be kept out of politics, and fabricated stories should not be spread for media attention," Rakul stated.

Rakul expressed disappointment in seeing a woman in a position of power make unsubstantiated claims against another woman. "Our silence should not be mistaken for weakness," she added, highlighting the actors' fraternity's dignity.

Telugu Film Industry is known worldwide for its creativity and professionalism. I've had a great journey in this beautiful industry and still very much connected.
It pains to hear such baseless and vicious rumours being spread about the women of this fraternity. What's more…
