Samantha and Naga Chaitanya were once South India’s most popular star couple. Fans had widely celebrated Samantha’s entry into the Akkineni family. However, the couple had recently shocked everyone by revealing the news of their divorce.
“To all our well-wishers. After much deliberation and thought Sam 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”, Naga Chaitanya had then said confirming the news. Numerous cyber-attacks were launched against Samantha following the divorce.
However now, Samantha has reportedly returned her wedding saree to the Akkineni family. Sources close to her say that she does not want to retain any memory related to Naga Chaitanya.
The couple had decided to separate just days before their fifth wedding anniversary. Soon after the divorce, Samantha had dropped the Akkineni family surname and deleted all the pictures with Chaitanya from her social media accounts.
