Samantha, Naga Chaitanya Divorce
One of the most-loved couples in the Telugu film industry, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, announced that they have decided to part ways. Rumours of divorce after four years of marriage were found to be true after the Tollywood’s star couple announced their separation in a joint statement on Saturday (October 2), days before their wedding anniversary.
The duo will be filing divorce by mutual consent. If reports by national media (India Today) are anything to go by, the actress was offered Rs 200 crore as alimony. But, 'The Family Man 2' actress reportedly has refused to take alimony.
Reports suggest that Samantha has said no to the Rs 200 crore alimony, and doesn't want even a penny from Naga Chaitanya or his family. Meanwhile, a source close to Samantha revealed that the actress is now focusing only on her work putting aside all the personal issues.
"The actress is massively heartbroken, but she doesn’t want any of the projects she is associated with to suffer because of her personal life," the source revealed.
Sam and Chay had met each other on the sets of Telugu movie 'Ye Maaya Chesave'. And after a whirlwind romance, they had tied the knot in a private ceremony in Goa in 2017.
Chay’s father Nagarjuna termed the unfolding of events as extremely personal and unfortunate. He however wished Samantha well and expressed that he will cherish the moments he spent with Samantha.
