What was only being speculated until now has finally come out as reality. Samantha Prabhu and Chaitanya Akkineni have announced that they are parting ways as husband and wife. Samantha declared the news to the world through a post on her Instagram account.
Have a look at Samantha Prabhu’s Instagram post here –
Rumours of trouble in the Samantha and Naga Chaitanya‘s wedding began several months ago when Samantha Akkineni dropped the Akkineni surname from her name on social media, replacing it with a simple S as her handle name. The pair deflected questions from the media, choosing to maintain a silence on their relationship status. But now that their separation is out in the open, fans of the couple are wondering what went wrong between the couple who had a fairy tale wedding in 2017. Their hitching together was the stuff that dreams are made of.
Buzz in media circles points to the age-old reason in Indian families. Apparently, the Akkineni family has been getting increasingly uncomfortable with Samantha’s bold image in the entertainment world. Granted that Samantha was as gregarious, bold and outgoing even before marriage. But now that she’s a part of the distinguished Akkineni family, with veteran actor Nagarjuna being the head of the family, the family always expected Samantha to rein in her bold image in the media.
Of course, that is never an option for Samantha, especially now that her career is really taking off after the success of her Hindi show, The Family Man 2. The fiesty actress is also not the kind to change her natural outgoing nature for anyone. Rather than stick together despite their obvious incompatibility, the couple has decided to part ways amicably.
The news of the couple’s separation is a real setback for their fans who have flooded Chaitanya Akkineni’s Instagram with messages. Samantha Akkineni disabled comments on her Instagram soon after posting the separation message.
