Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya's love story spanned nearly a decade, beginning on the sets of Ye Maaya Chesave in 2010. Their relationship blossomed into marriage in 2017 with both Hindu and Christian ceremonies. Fans were shocked when they announced their divorce in 2021.

Despite their separation, Samantha frequently opened up about her past relationship in interviews, even taking occasional jabs at her former husband. She became a symbol of strength, with fans supporting her transformation and resilience in the face of heartbreak and personal growth post-divorce.
