The once-celebrated couple, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha, who first met on the sets of Ye Maaya Chesave, were considered the epitome of a "made-for-each-other" pair. Their friendship blossomed into love, and eventually, they tied the knot with their families' blessings after seven years of dating. However, their marriage lasted only four years, and in October 2021, they announced their separation.
The Reasons Behind the Divorce
At the time of their divorce, many speculated on the reasons behind it. Rumors suggested that Samantha's continued acting career post-marriage did not sit well with the Akkineni family. Reportedly, Naga Chaitanya was particularly displeased with Samantha's role in The Family Man web series, which led to growing tensions between the couple.
Some even blamed the web series for their eventual separation. Despite the divorce, Samantha remained focused on her film career but was soon diagnosed with myositis, a condition that concerned many of her fans. Surprisingly, no one from the Akkineni family publicly acknowledged her health struggles, which led to widespread criticism.

They argue that it is insensitive to Samantha’s situation.
On the other hand, there are those who defend Naga Chaitanya, stating that after a divorce, individuals are free to make their own personal choices and pursue happiness. They believe that Naga Chaitanya has every right to move forward with his life.
Mixed Reactions
The reactions have been mixed, with some expressing sympathy for Samantha and others supporting Naga Chaitanya’s right to live his life as he sees fit. The situation continues to be a hot topic among fans and in the media, with opinions divided on whether Naga Chaitanya’s actions are justified.
