He stressed that the decision to part ways with Samantha was mutual and taken with respect. He added that he feels bad that it happened but they went away with a lot of grace.
Since their split, both Naga and Samantha have focused on their respective lives and careers. Naga Chaitanya is now married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala, and the couple has kept their relationship largely private. Naga and Sobhita’s marriage will now be seen as a Netflix documentary soon.
