Naga Babu’s daughter Niharika Konidela is busy with her upcoming promotion venture Committee Kurrollu. In a recent interaction, she opened up about the rumoured tiff with Allu Arjun and how because of it has created a huge uproar within the families.

Reason of the rift with Allu Arjun

This year’s elections in Andhra Pradesh was important for Pawan Kalyan’s family. His brother Naga Babu, Niharika Konidela’s father, and the whole family supported his candidacy. However, Allu Arjun chose to support YSRC candidate which drew flak from everyone.

In an interview with M9, Niharika was asked how did the family react when Allu Arjun supported YSR. She replied, “We didn’t actually talk too much about it. We didn’t speak about it at home because everyone has their own reasons. Politically, religiously, spiritually, everyone has a choice to do what they want.”

She further said, “For me, it’s always family first and I can only speak for myself.”

Niharika was recently asked about the tiff with cousins Sai Dharam Tej aka Sai Durgha Tej. She said, ”Genuinely, I didn’t know about this till you just told me. I’m sorry, I’m not aware of it.” She did add that if it is true, it must be for a reason, stating, “But, whatever it is, I’m sure they have their own reasons.”

Pawan Kalyan is now the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
