Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya parted ways in 2021, leaving their massive fanbase in shock. However, it wasn't just the fans but Samantha's family who were in disbelief, especially her late father, Joseph Prabhu. For a normal Indian family, divorce is a big thing, and Samantha knows how hard it is for a woman to survive after choosing to separate from her husband.
After almost a year, in 2022, Samantha's late father, Joseph Prabhu, had taken to his Facebook account and posted a series of photos from his daughter's wedding. Along with it, Samantha's late father shared how there once was a story which doesn't exist anymore. The post could be read as:
"Long long ago, there was a story. And it doesn’t exist anymore! So, let’s start a new story. And a new chapter!"
Samantha's late father accepted that it took him a lot of time to come to terms with her separation. But life is too short to sit down with the ghosts of the past. His post, which has now been removed, was a way for him to accept his feelings. He concluded the note by writing:
"Thanks for all your feelings. Yes, I sat down for a long time to overcome emotions. Life is too short to sit down with feelings and get bogged down."
It was just four days before their fourth wedding anniversary when Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their divorce. She accepted the rumours that were making rounds and added that they had decided to part ways as husband and wife. Her note also stated how they had a friendship of over a decade, which was the core of their relationship. The note could be read as
"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."
Samantha also talked about how her life changed after divorce and being diagnosed with myositis. She shared that she is in a happy space and is taking care of herself. Samantha shared:
"I'm in a very happy space right now. I know how to take care of myself and focus on what matters. I think I’m in a very good phase in life. I’m genuinely very happy and I feel I’m blessed to have the opportunity to live every day to the fullest and I think that I might not have been so grateful for an ordinary day before. But now I am!"
