During an interview, Naga Chaitanya opened up on his marriage. The actor was asked how he sees his relation with Samantha. He responded, “Whatever happened in my personal life with my marriage, that’s very unfortunate. But I have immense respect for that phase of my life. It is due to the media reportage and how they’ve portrayed everything by speculating and spreading rumours, the whole respect is lost, diminished in the public eye. This is what hurt me a lot.”
The actor went on to add it hurts him a lot to know how people are still holding on to the issue and dragging it. “Just for headlines, they’re linking my name to some third person and speculating more. This has really hurt me a lot. For no reason or fault at all of the third party, they’re being dragged into this whole issue. Whatever happened has happened, they should let go,” he shared.
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, co-stars of films like Majili, Ye Maaya Chesave and Autonagar Surya, got married in 2017. The stars announced their separation on social media in a joint statement in October 2021. In a previous interview with Miss Malini, last year, Samantha had said, “I gave my marriage 100 it did not work out but I was not going to beat myself up and feel guilty for something that I didn’t do.”
