Star actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s divorce after four years of marriage left fans shocked. The couple, who tied the knot in a grand ceremony in Goa in 2017, decided to part ways in 2021. Following their split, rumors and allegations swirled around Samantha, with some netizens blaming her for the breakup. Additionally, there was widespread speculation about the alimony she supposedly took from Naga Chaitanya, with some reports suggesting she demanded ₹200 crores.
Samantha recently addressed these rumors directly on Karan Johar’s popular talk show, Koffee with Karan. When Karan Johar asked her about the alimony rumors, Samantha responded with a touch of sarcasm. She quipped, “I took ₹250 crores as alimony. That’s why I wait outside my house every morning for the income tax officers to show up. At least, I can show them the reality.” Her witty reply not only dismissed the exaggerated claims but also highlighted the absurdity of the rumors.
Post-divorce, Naga Chaitanya reportedly found love again with actress Shobita Dhulipala. The couple, who have been rumored to be dating for some time, got engaged on August 8. Naga Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna, was the first to share the engagement photos on social media, much to the delight of fans. In a recent interview, Nagarjuna expressed his happiness about his son’s engagement, stating, "The engagement event was wonderful. Chaitanya is happy again, and I’m glad to see him smiling. After his divorce from Samantha, he went through a tough time, but now he’s found happiness with Shobita. Our family is overjoyed."
