When Naga Chaitanya talked about moving on after divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Speaking on the podcast Raw Talks with VK, Naga Chaitanya opened up about his life and moving on from his previous relationship with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The actor said, “We both wanted to choose unique paths in life. It happened for our own reasons, and we live with respect for each other. I don’t see why I need to give any further explanation.”

“Why am I treated like a criminal? I feel sorry for disappointing people, but when I decide to break off a relationship, I think 100 times before doing so. It’s because I know the consequences of ending the relationship. We are both moving on and living our lives,” Chay said.

Naga Chaitanya further revealed that he himself comes from a broken family and the decision to separate from his ex-wife did not happen overnight. He said, “I am a child of a broken family. I know the experiences that come with it. Obviously, I feel bad that it happened. We just went along with our decision. Unfortunately, it sensationalized the headlines and turned into gossip. Everything happens for a reason. You move on in life and find the right path. That’s what happened to me too.”
