'Her priorities were different, still emotional'; Naga Chaitanya breaks silence about Samantha

Not long ago, actors Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were touted as the ideal couple in the South film industry. Things haven’t been merrier for them since then. The couple parted ways in 2021 and Naga Chaitanya is now married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala.

Despite stories hitting headlines about his split with Samantha, hitherto, Naga Chaitanya remained tight-lipped on the whole issue. Now, for the first time, the actor has opened up about the reasons that wrecked their marriage. Naga Chaitanya was talking in a prominent podcast session.

NAGA CHAITANYA:

“ We respect each other. Now we are living a good life in our way. What more explanation is there to be given? Samantha had some other priorities. It didn't go in tandem with our marriage.

I have huge respect for her and I would like to keep our issues totally private. I walked out of her life after reaching a mutual pact. Samantha would agree with this. Despite keeping our stuff private, media and people carry a lust to discuss our private issues day and night.

I have seen many family disputes in my life. My family too had a fair share of marital disputes. So when the same trouble came knocking at my doors, I was careful with my decision. The divorce will always remain an emotional moment in my life.

Now, I have found the love of my life and we are happily together. But still, people continue to see me as a culprit.”
