The personal life of Tollywood couple Samantha and Naga Chaitanya Akkineni has been in the news for quite some time. The news about the couple has started to appear in the media outlets after Samantha removed Akkineni from her name. She changed her name to 'S', from Samantha Akkineni. However, their fans are hoping that they will not break their relationship.
Ending their four years of marriage, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya have announced their separation. The couple said they have decided to end their relationship to focus on their respective paths. They said they have a decade-odd friendship. Sam and Chaitanya have urged the fans, friends, and media to support them in the tough time and respect their privacy.
âTo all our well wishers. After much deliberation and thought Chay and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us. We request our fans, well wishers and the media to support us during this difficult time and give us the privacy we need to move on. Thanking you for your support," Samantha Akkineni said in the statement shared on her Instagram account.
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya tied the knot in 2017. The couple was in a relationship for some time before getting married. Sam and Chai had a destination wedding and the marriage was performed according to Hindu and Christian traditions.
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu met for the first time while shooting for Ye Maaya Chesave. The duo developed a friendship during that shoot that had blossomed into love in the later years. They were a successful pair on screen. They appeared in Manam, Autonagar Surya, and Majili. Majili marks the first film they have acted in after their marriage.
Media reports say that the cracks in their relationship had started with Samantha appearing in bold scenes even after the marriage. She was reportedly asked to not do such films. However, we have to wait for the couple to give the reason behind parting ways.
