Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu got separated in 2021 after being married for 4 years. The former duo never shared the reason behind their separation but announced it on a joint social media post. Recently, Naga Chaitanya opened up about his divorce from ex-wife Samantha. The Thandel actor stated that they wanted to go on separate ways and had their own reasons. Chaitanya also shared that they have immense respect for each other. Not only that he also mentioned that they moved on in their lives.
The actor told Raw Talks With VK podcast, “We wanted to go our own ways. For our own reasons, we have taken this decision and we respect each other. We are moving on in our lives, in our own way. What more explanation is needed, I don’t understand. I’m hoping the audience and media will respect that. We have asked for privacy. Please respect us and give us privacy on this matter. But, unfortunately, it is a headline. It became a topic or gossip. It became entertainment.”
Chaitanya continued, “I’ve moved on with so much grace. She has moved on with so much grace. We are leading our own lives. I have found love again. I am so happy and we have so much respect for each other.” He further added, “It’s not like it’s only happening in my life, so why am I treated like a criminal?”
Talking about the decision to end the marriage, Chaitanya also said “It was for the betterment of whoever was involved in the marriage… Whatever the decision was, it was a very conscious decision after much thought and with a lot of respect for the other person. I’m saying this because it’s a very sensitive topic for me. I come from a broken family. I’m a child from a broken family so I know what the experience is like. I will think 1000 times before breaking a relationship because I know the repercussions… It was a mutual decision…”
“It’s not like it happened overnight for me to feel down. I feel bad that it happened but everything happens for a reason. You build yourself, you keep progressing and you will find the right path soon. That’s happened to me,” the actor added. Naga Chaitanya then married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024.
