Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya are continuously making headlines ever since they announced their separation in October last year which came as a shock to their fans. The duo got married in 2017 and parted ways after four years of being together. While the estranged couple has now moved on, Naga Chaitanya's father and veteran South actor Nagarjuna Akkineni opened up about their separation in a recent interview. 

Nagarjuna has now revealed that Samantha was the one who wanted divorce from his son Naga Chaitanya. He also shared that Chay was tense about him and the family's reputation.  

Talking about the same, Nagarjuna told IndiaGlitz, "Naga Chaitanya accepted her decision but he was much worried about me, what I would think and what would happen to family's reputation".

The veteran star, who is also a part of Ranbir Kapoor's Brahmastra, also revealed that Samantha and Naga Chaitanya had celebrated New Year 2021 together and problems between them cropped up only after that. 

He said, "Naga Chaitanya consoled me very much as he thought I will be worried. They both have been together for 4 years in the marriage life but no problem like this came between them. Both were so close and I don't know how it came down to this decision. They even celebrated 2021's New Year together, it seems that the problems have arisen after that".

Earlier this month, Naga Chaitanya too talked about his split with Samantha during the promotions of Bangarraju. Calling divorce the 'best decision', the Love Story actor shared that they both are happy now. Talking about the rough phase after separation, Samantha had earlier revealed that she thought she was weak and would "crumble and die". 

Recently, Samantha deleted the divorce statement from her social media account which stirred patch-up rumours. Seems like, she deleted the post just like that as The Family Man 2 actress is yet to react to the speculations. 

On the career front, Naga Chaitanya will be seen in Aamir Khan & Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha which is slated to release later this year. He also has Vikram Kumar's Thank You (Telugu) in his kitty. Produced by Dil Raju, the film also stars Raashi Khanna and Avika Gor. 

Samantha was recently seen with Allu Arjun in the hit Pushpa song Oo Antava. She is rumoured to be making her Bollywood debut with a women-centric film produced by Taapsee Pannu. Also, there is a buzz that Yash Raj Films (YRF) has approached the actress with a 3-film deal offer. However, the official announcement is still awaited. On the south front, her lineup includes Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal (Tamil), Shaakuntalam (Telugu), and Yashoda (Telugu).
