During his appearance on the Raw Talks With VK podcast, Chay shared, “We wanted to go our own ways. For our own reasons, we have taken this decision and we respect each other. We are moving on in our lives, in our own way. What more explanation is needed, I don’t understand. I’m hoping the audience and media will respect that. We have asked for privacy. Please respect us and give us privacy on this matter. But, unfortunately, it is a headline. It became a topic or gossip. It became entertainment.”

The actor added, “I’ve moved on with so much grace. She has moved on with so much grace. We are leading our own lives. I have found love again. I am so happy and we have so much respect for each other.” Naga Chaitanya urged the audience to be positive about his dynamic with Samantha as he has immense respect for the actress.

Chaitanya on why his marriage with Samantha ended

Reflecting on the decision to end the marriage, the actor mentioned, “It was for the betterment of whoever was involved in the marriage… Whatever the decision was, it was a very conscious decision after much thought and with a lot of respect for the other person. I’m saying this because it’s a very sensitive topic for me. I come from a broken family. I’m a child from a broken family so I know what the experience is like. I will think 1000 times before breaking a relationship because I know the repercussions… It was a mutual decision…”

“It’s not like it happened overnight for me to feel down. I feel bad that it happened but everything happens for a reason. You build yourself, you keep progressing and you will find the right path soon. That’s happened to me,” he added.

Talking about the actors, Chay is now married to Sobhita Dhulipala. While Samantha is rumoured to be dating Raj Nidimoru.
