Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been facing severe trolling, rumours, and allegations ever since her split from her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya. While the actress has maintained a dignified silence, fans have always been curious about her side of the story. Yet, Samatha has left her fans high and dry while remaining honest about her experiences without divulging too many details. The actress once again maintained her stance while also candidly answering a question from her fans.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu revealed what her advice to her younger self would be
Samantha Ruth Prabhu once engaged with her fans in an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Instagram in 2024. The actress answered several questions candidly. However, it was one of the fans who seized the opportunity and asked the star about any ideas she had regarding getting inked in the future. Samantha’s response to the question left her fans surprised, as she not only bluntly denied getting inked in the future but also hinted at her regrets regarding getting tattoos for her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya. She stated:
“You know the one thing I’d tell my younger self is never ever get a tattoo. Never. Never ever. Ever, get a tattoo.”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s tattoos hold the painful memories of her relationship with her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya
For the uninitiated, Samantha had three tattoos at the time the fan questioned her about her plans to get more. While the actress didn’t elaborate on the reason behind her new-found dislike for tattoos, many knew the answer nonetheless. The three tattoos were likely a constant, bitter reminder of her failed marriage with her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, as Samantha’s inspiration for them was her love for Naga.
The first tattoo was on the nape of Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s neck and reads ‘YMC’. The abbreviation refers to the 2010 release Ye Maaya Chesave, which was the first film she ever acted in with Naga Chaitanya. She then got another matching tattoo with her then-husband, Naga Chaitanya, on her forearm. On multiple occasions, the two were seen wearing the same Viking symbol, which featured two arrows.
Samatha got her third tattoo on her rib. This was the most direct of them all, as it read ‘Chay’, one of Naga Chaitanya’s nicknames. Samantha first showcased the newest addition in a 2019 Instagram post, in which she tagged Naga, calling him her husband and her world. However, after their separation, it is speculated that Samantha had this removed, as it is no longer visible in her pictures after 2023.
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s fairytale romance ended in a nightmare
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya first crossed paths in 2010. The duo, over time, formed a beautiful friendship which remained so for a full five years until they realised their feelings for each other. However, once the couple officially started dating, things seemed to move at a rapid pace. A mere two years later, they were married in a destination wedding that was nothing short of a fairytale. Their nuptials took place in Goa, incorporating both Hindu and Christian customs.
Four years later, news of the beloved couple’s separation dropped like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through fans. The two South stars have remained as private about their divorce as they were about their relationship. However, a post by Samantha once again caught the attention of netizens. The actress’s post, which many fans viewed as a cryptic response to her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya’s engagement announcement, suggests that the two may not be on the best of terms. In it, the actress is seen wearing a shirt with the print, ‘The Museum of Peace and Quiet’ while subtly giving the finger.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala’s wedding
Naga Chaitanya found love again with Sobhita Dhulipala. The couple announced their engagement in August 2024 and got married on December 4, 2024, following the Tamil-Bhramin rituals. Their wedding ceremony lasted for eight hours, during which the couple sought blessings from the Gods and Goddesses and honoured their ancestors. Naga Chaitanya and Shobita chose to tie the knot at Annapurna Studios, which stood as a testament to the Akkineni family’s legacy in the film industry.
