Samantha Ruth Prabhu is finally breaking her silence on the chaos surrounding her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, and it’s definitely more dramatic than any of her on-screen roles. The actress, who has been through intense trolling and gossip since their separation in 2021, opened up about the personal attacks she faced, saying that untrue stories were spread about her, but she chose to keep her peace.
In an emotional interview with Galatta India, Samantha got real about the toll societal pressures took on her. “In a patriarchal society, when something goes wrong, it’s always the woman who gets the most judgment,” she shared, revealing how the constant online abuse and public shaming became unbearable. “Many things were said about me that were absolute lies,” she admitted. But despite the temptation to set the record straight, Samantha chose silence over confrontation, reasoning that addressing the lies would only attract fickle supporters who’d turn against her the moment something went wrong.
But here’s the real tea — Samantha’s no longer chasing validation. “For so long, I wanted to be loved, validated, and appreciated,” she confessed, but she’s now learned to embrace her truth, even if the world doesn’t. “It’s okay if people believe the lies; my friends and family know who I am,” she added, clearly unfazed by the haters.
Meanwhile, her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya is moving on swiftly. After their split, he’s set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala, and the two are gearing up for a December wedding after getting engaged in August. The pair has been spotted vacationing together, but only recently made their relationship official. Looks like Naga’s love life is hitting a high while Samantha’s silence speaks volumes.
So, while Naga and Sobhita prepare for their big day, Samantha is putting the lies behind her and focusing on her career. What’s next for the Raja Rani actress? Guess we’ll have to wait and watch.
