After getting married to actor Naga Chaitanya in 2017, Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced her separation from him in 2021. The actress hasn’t enjoyed talking about that terrible event all that much. However, she opened up about her divorce in a recent interview.
Samantha on her separation
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya divorced in 2021 after four years of marriage. On October 2, the couple announced their divorce on social media, explaining that they had decided to part ways as husband and wife because they could no longer succeed as a couple. Now that Samantha is on her road to recovery, she has slowly started talking about her bitter separation. And it is not something that the actress would like to forget ever.
In a conversation with Gulte, Samantha was asked if she wanted to forget any of her past experiences. The actress responded by asking if the question was about her relationship, and the interviewer emphasized that it could be about anything. Samantha said, “You are getting me into trouble. I don’t want to forget anything because everything taught me something in life so I wouldn’t want to forget maybe like, oh god, do I have to say it out aloud?”
The actress further added, “I am not getting into trouble. I am not going to answer this question. I want to remember everything because everything taught me a lesson.”
The lowest point of her life
Earlier in an interview with Zoom TV, she admitted that there were days when she couldn’t get out of bed and was at her lowest point after parting ways with Naga.
“I see all of the lows, all the days I didn’t want to get out of bed, I see the crying, I see the constant asking my mom if I’m going to be okay. That’s not superhuman strength. There’s a little girl in there as well, who is weak and wants to get better. I was in a very, very dark place during the toughest times of this condition. You name it, I had the darkest thoughts. And then I realized that I’m not going to do anything about these dark thoughts. If I’m not going to let it destroy me, it means that I’m going to have to start putting one step forward,” said Samantha.
A couple of weeks ago, a report claimed that Samantha had reacted to rumors of her ex-husband dating Sobhita Dhulipala after an old picture of the two at a restaurant went viral online. She had taken to Twitter, where she shared the reports and dismissed them saying, “I never said this!!”
On the work front, Samantha is gearing up for the release of Shaakuntalam which is scheduled to release on April 14. She will next be seen in the Indian adaptation of Citadel.
