Naga Chaitanya broke his silence on parting ways with Samantha for the first time. While promoting his upcoming film Bangarraju, Chaitanya revealed that divorce was the best solution for them at that point. On October 2, the couple took to social media to announce that they had separated. Last year, they ended their four-year marriage over irreconcilable differences.
After keeping the fans guessing for a few months, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation in October 2021. In their similarly-worded posts, they revealed that they will cherish the decade-long friendship. The couple refrained from sharing the reason behind their divorce.
While Samantha had been vocal about how she is dealing with the divorce, Naga Chaitanya had maintained a dignified silence. For the past few days, Chaitanya has been busy promoting his upcoming film, Bangarraju, in which he shares screen space with his father, Nagarjuna.
During the promotions, Naga Chaitanya was asked about the separation. He said, “It’s okay. It was a decision made for the good of both of us individually. If she (Samantha) is happy, I am happy. That was the best decision in that situation.”
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya filed for divorce by mutual consent. The legal proceedings are currently underway. Reportedly, Naga Chaitanya offered Rs 200 crore alimony to Samantha. The actress refused to accept it and also revealed that she doesn’t want a penny from him.
Nagarjuna reacted to Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s divorce. He called it unfortunate and said that he would cherish the times spent with Samantha.
