Many know that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was dating actor Siddharth before in the initial stages of her career, i.e. from 2013 to 2015. Though the reasons for the breakup are unknown, Samantha moved on later but said that she has learnt to be honest and respect herself first.

Talking about this relationship in an interview, Samantha once said that she was afraid things would become worse and make her feel worse. Also, she believes that the choice she made transformed her life.

Marrying Naga Chaitanya

Chay, whose real name is Naga Chaitanya, was in Samantha's debut movie with her. Over time, their friendship turned into love. People believed that their real-life love tale was one of the best in South Indian movies. On January 29, 2017, they got married. It felt like they were in a movie for a short while.

But the romance ended after four years. When the couple said they were filing for divorce in 2021, many were shocked. People never understood why they broke up, but it showed how hard it is to be in a relationship when everyone is watching.

Samantha subsequently said that if she had stayed in that relationship, her life might have turned out like the awful stories of older performers. She was happy she chose something else.

A New Chapter: Getting Married and Being Raj Nidimoru's wife

Samantha stepped back into the public eye and started to focus on her professional life again after her divorce. In 2023, there were rumours that she was dating filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. People circulated these claims because they worked together in secret and put images of themselves on social media. They got to know each other better as they worked on projects and came up with new ideas.

The wedding at the peaceful Linga Bhairavi Temple in Coimbatore's Isha Yoga Center was only for close friends and family. Later, Samantha sent out private images from the party that showed the good news.

They can both start anew and love and be friends again now that they are married. Because Raj had been married before, this wedding was a new start for both of them.

Samantha has never been afraid to talk about what she's been through. She also added that breaking up with Siddharth helped her keep calm. She once claimed that staying in that relationship could have made her sad like the famous actress Savithri, whose poor marriage ruined her life.

Samantha thinks that breaking up with Chay hurt her. She went on with grace, even though it broke her heart. She worked hard to get her personal and professional life back on track.

Fans all across the world are watching and hoping for her new path as she moves on with her partner.
