Samantha Akkineni is one of the most sought-after actresses in the South movie industry. The Family Man 2 actress recently dropped her surname from her Twitter and Instagram handles. This move by Samantha left fans wondering if things were fine between her husband Naga Chaitanya and her.
Soon, rumours started making rounds that Samantha and Chay were not on talking terms. They are living separately, and are heading toward divorce. Neither Samantha nor her husband Naga Chaitanya who is back home after shooting for Laal Singh Chadha address these reports.
Finally, the actress broke her silence. During an interview with Film Companion, Sam was questioned about the speculations about her troubled marriage with Naga. She smiled and said,” People have been trolling me for ‘The Family Man 2’. They then started asking me the reason behind dropping my surname on social media. I do not want to react to all these things. I don’t like controversy. Just like others are free to express their views, so am I.”
