Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have always been in the spotlight, not just for their professional accomplishments but also for their love story. The former power couple was once the talk of the town in the South Indian entertainment industry. But after their split, Naga Chaitanya made headlines with his candid comments in a throwback interview about his ex-wife. Let’s dive into what he had to say.
In a recent interview during the promotions of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Naga Chaitanya sat down for a fun chat with Bollywood Bubble. The host threw a rapid-fire question at him, asking what he would do if he ran into Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Chay’s response was simple yet heartfelt, “I’d just say hi and give her a hug.”
When asked about his craziest fan encounters, Naga Chaitanya shared a touching story about fans emulating the Morse code tattoo on his left hand. Explaining the significance of the tattoo, he revealed, “It marks the day of my wedding. I wouldn’t want my fans to bear that burden.” Despite his separation from Samantha, he expressed no desire to alter the tattoo.
On the other hand, Samantha had inked Chay’s name on her waist, a decision she now regrets. In an interactive Instagram session, she candidly advised her younger self against getting a tattoo.
The couple tied the knot in 2017 after a courtship period, but destiny had other plans as they announced their split in 2021. Naga Chaitanya has since found love again and got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala in August 2024. Meanwhile, Samantha is rumored to be dating filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, with whom she has collaborated on projects like Citadel: Honey Bunny and The Family Man alongside Manoj Bajpayee. Although the rumors of their relationship remain unconfirmed, their frequent collaborations have fueled speculation about their romantic involvement.
Despite their individual paths, both Naga Chaitanya and Samantha have embraced new beginnings in their personal lives, showing that love and happiness can be found after heartbreak.
