Naga Chaitanya Makes 1st Appearance After Samantha Patch Up Rumours, Looks Unrecognisable in Beard – News18

Naga Chaitanya looked unrecognisable at the Navratri puja in Kerala. The Telugu star joined Nagarjuna, Katrina Kaif and many other stars at the Navratri puja hosted by Kalyan Jewellers in Thrissur. In photos shared by the paparazzi present at the venue, Naga Chaitanya was seen making his way to the celebrations with father Nagarjuna. The actor sported a big beard, a look that is unusual for him. Chay slipped into a white kurta and pyjama.

The Custody star was seen posing with his father outside the puja venue. For the special night, Nagarjuna was seen wearing a printed kurta which he styled with a pair of pyjamas. The father-son duo posed for the cameras together. See the photos below:

The appearance also marked his first public outing since he sparked the rumours of patching up with ex-wife Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Earlier this month, Naga Chaitanya sparked rumours of patch up when he shared a picture with Hash, a French Bulldog that he and Samantha welcomed when they were still married. In the photo, Hash was seen seated in Chaitanya’s lap in his car while he watched the sunset. He shared the photo with the caption, “Vibe.” While it seems like Samantha and Chaitanya are co-parenting their dogs, the photo opened the floodgate of speculations that Chaitanya and Samantha might have patched up.

However, Samantha appeared to put an end to reconciliation rumours with her photos from Dubai. Samantha shared photo from her trip to Dubai and through the pictures, she seemingly revealed that she has removed tattoo of Naga Chaitanya’s name. Samantha Ruth Prabhu had inked Chaitanya’s nickname, Chay, on her rib when they were still together. The Dubai photos did not feature the tattoo anymore, thus hinting that the patch up rumours are false.

Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya has also been busy with his upcoming project directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Dubbed as NC23, Chaitanya had met families of fishermen from K Matchilesam village of Srikakulam as part of his prep a few weeks ago.
