Naga Chaitanya used to be very secretive about the Morse code tattoo on his left hand. However, during the promotions of his film Laal Singh Chaddha, the actor was asked to share some of his craziest fan experiences. While answering the question, he finally broke the silence on his tattoo and shared the story behind it.
In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, he said that some of his fans try to copy his tattoos without knowing the meaning behind it. He mentioned that he would never suggest anyone to get a tattoo of his own. He said, “I have met some fans who have got my name and other tattoos and have copied this tattoo (pointing to his arm). This is not something you would want.”
Naga Chaitanya further explained that the Morse code tattoo represents his and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding date. He said, “This is the day I got married. I don’t want fans to get this tattoo.”
The Thandel actor talked about his tattoo after his divorce from Samantha, he was asked if he would ever change it. Naga Chaitanya laughed and said, “I have not thought about it till date. There is nothing to change. It is fine.”
Let us tell you that Samantha Ruth Prabhu also got a ‘Chai’ tattoo on her waist and near her ribs. She has also flaunted the tattoo in some of her pictures.
Earlier, during an Ask Me Anything session on her social media handle, Samantha had hinted that she regrets getting the Chay tattoo. She also responded to a fan who asked about her tattoo and wrote, “My advice to my younger self would be to not get a tattoo. Never!! Never get a tattoo.”
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu tied the knot after two rituals in 2017. However, after almost four years of marriage, they announced their divorce in 2021.
Naga Chaitanya is now engaged to The Night Manager actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The two exchanged rings on August 8 in Hyderabad in the presence of their family members.
