Reason Behind Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Naga Chaitanya’s Divorce Has The Family Man 2 Connection!

Popular actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently tied the knot with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, and fans have been loving their pairing. But the way to finding love wasn’t easy for her as she went through a very public divorce with her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya. Their separation shocked their fanbase as they looked so in love just a few years back. After this, Chaitanya married Sobhita Dhulipala, and the reason for their divorce remained private. But read to know this update.

About Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Naga Chaitanya

As quoted in Bollywoodshaadis.com, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s split was caused due to her bold scenes and item numbers, reportedly. Her intimate scene in the famous series, The Family Man 2, was allegedly the last straw that irked the Akkineni family, and as per a source, Chay and his father, Nagarjuna, didn’t like Samantha’s ‘skin show’ on screen post their marriage. So when the series came out, it shocked him and his parents, and they shared their reservations about her bold scenes. After the actress refused to accept his mindset, it led to their divorce.

During an interview with Miss Malini, Samantha spoke about doing her famous ‘Oo Antava’ song in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa right during her separation. She said, “I was in the middle of all of the separation. The announcement came, and every friend of mine, every well-wisher, and my family were like ‘you sit at home, you will not do an item song now just after you announced a separation and you will say no to this’.”
