Speaking on the Raw Talks With VK podcast, Chaitanya said, “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 of gossip. It became entertainment.”

Naga Chaitanya says Samantha moved on with grace.

The actor added that both he and Samantha “moved on with grace” after their divorce, but yet he is treated “like a criminal” by a section of fans. He said, “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. It’s not like it’s only happening in my life, so why am I treated like a criminal?” He added that the divorce was ‘for the betterment of whoever was involved in the marriage’ and called it ’a very conscious decision after much thought’.

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu started dating in 2015. They tied the knot in Goa in a Christian ceremony on October 6, 2017, followed by a Hindu wedding the following day. They announced their separation in October 2021 and divorced the following year. Chaitanya married SobhitaDhulipala on December 4, 2024 a Annapurna Studios.
