Mumbai (Commonwealth Union)_ During a recent interview with Miss Malini, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is actively promoting her upcoming film Shakuntalam, was as frank as ever. During the discussion, the actress shared about her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, stating that she gave her marriage her best, but it did not work out. Samantha disclosed that she starred in the Pushpa song Oo Antava immediately after announcing her breakup with Naga Chaitanya, adding that she had no regrets.
She informed Miss Malini that when the Oo Antava song was given to her, she was in the midst of the breakup. She said, “So it is like, well, I’m doing it because I just thought, why should I hide? I mean, I did not do anything wrong, why should I hide? I was not going to go into hiding and wait for all of the trolling and abuse to subside, then slowly come back like someone who had committed a crime. I was not going to do that. I gave my marriage 100%. But it did not work out, and I was not going to beat myself up and feel guilty for something that I did not do.”
Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, co-stars of films such as MajiliYe Maaya Chesave and Autonagar Surya, tied the knot in 2017 in a big, fat traditional wedding.

When Samantha Ruth Prabhu arrived as a guest on the seventh season of Karan Johar’s chat program Koffee With Karan, she was questioned if she and Naga Chaitanya are friendly. She replied, “You mean that if you locked us both in a room, you would have to hide any sharp objects? Absolutely, as of now, but this might change in the future.”
