In an interview with ETimes, Naga Chaitanya opened up about his life after divorce from ex-wife and actress, Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Chaitanya mentioned the loose talk that’s going on for some time in the media about his personal life, and how their separation has become a topic of discussion for everyone due to the ex-duo's profession. He added that it is frustrating that his personal life is making the headlines more than his achievements. Therefore, he requested everyone to give them 'personal space' and said:
“It is frustrating. I am here as an actor and I want my professional life to do the talking. I don’t want my personal life to be the topic of discussion. We all have a personal space and there’s a reason why it’s called ‘personal’. Unfortunately, it’s a part of this job where your personal space also becomes a narrative. That’s the baggage that this job carries. It’s my responsibility to be affected by it or not. Every celebrity needs to take that call, actually. It does become frustrating that my personal life makes for a bigger headline than my professional achievements. But I guess, I just need to keep working harder on my profession. The personal life bits will come and go.”
In the same conversation, Chaitanya revealed the reason why he was silent on his separation from Samantha, even if as she was quite open about expressing her side. He said that since, in their case, both of them had moved on, he didn't feel like informing about the same to the world. He added:
“Whatever both of us wanted to say, we both put out a statement regarding that. That’s what I have always done with my personal life anyway. Things that I feel are crucial to be shared and put out, I do inform the media about it, whether it’s good or bad. I come out, tell the people about it through a statement and that’s it. In our case, Samantha has moved on, I’ve moved on and I don’t feel the need to inform the world about it, more than that.”

At the end of the conversation, Chaitanya mentioned how he didn't give any heed to the rumours about him and explained that his trait is known to his close ones. He also shared that with time, the speculations and conjectures about his separation from Samantha would also rub away, thus, he stays chill about it. He concluded:
“My friends, family and the people who matter, they all know. And you see, news replaces news. All the speculation and conjecture is all very temporary. The more I react to it, the more news it will make. So I just stay chill about it, let it happen and it will all fade away hopefully.”
