Star couple and internet favorite Samantha Ruth Prabhu Akkineni and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya have put an end to weeks of speculation and announced their separation after four years of marriage. The couple, popularly known as Chai-Sam, confirmed the news in an official Naga Chaitanya statement shared by Samantha, which they released on Saturday. He requested his fans and the media to allow him privacy.
Nagarjuna reacted to the development with a sweet parting note. Taking to social media, the superstar said: “With a heavy heart let me say this! Whatever happened between Sam and Chai is very unfortunate. What happens between a wife and a husband is very personal. I love both Sam and Chai. My family will always cherish the moments spent with Sam and he will always be dear to us. God bless them both.”
