Ever since the reports of potential divorce between Chaitanya and Samantha Prabhu started to surface, their individual fans have been at a war on social media. The ones who admired the couple have been expressing disbelief and disappointment. According to Samantha Prabhu, she has been at the receiving end of the attacks. Many blamed her for the couple's divorce.
Actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Prabhu tied the knot on October 6, 2017, and then a day later married according to Christian rituals. Earlier this month, Prabhu had shared the news of the separation on social media.
She wrote, "To all our well-wishers. After much deliberation and thought Chay and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us."
She requested the fans, media and the well-wishers to support the couple during their difficult time and give them privacy to move on.
