Since Naga Chaitanya’s engagement to Sobhita Dhulipala, fans of his ex-wife Samantha Ruth Prabhu have noticed that he deleted all their photos together, leaving only one throwback from 2018. This photo, taken at a Formula 1 racetrack, was captioned, “Throw back… Mrs and the girlfriend.” However, it seems the actor has finally responded to the persistent requests from his followers and removed that picture as well.
Now, the only trace of the former couple on his social media is a poster from their film Majili. Some fans were not pleased with Naga Chaitanya‘s engagement and expressed their thoughts in the comments on his posts featuring Samantha, urging him to delete the photo. One user commented, “You deleted Sam pictures & unfollowed her on insta and twitter. Why didn’t delete this picture?” Another remarked, “Sam deserves better, delete the post.” A third user added, “Chay plz remove that pic, you getting engaged with another girl.”
Despite receiving numerous similar comments, Naga Chaitanya initially chose to keep the 2018 throwback photo with Samantha. However, ahead of his wedding with Sobhita Dhulipala, he decided to wipe his Instagram clean of all pictures featuring Samantha, except for their movie poster.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu married Naga Chaitanya in 2017 after dating for nearly two years. They announced their separation in 2021 after four years of marriage, citing personal reasons. Shortly thereafter, rumors about Naga Chaitanya dating Sobhita began circulating online, though the couple only confirmed their relationship upon their engagement on August 8 this year.
They are reportedly planning to marry soon, with their pre-wedding festivities already underway. Media reports suggest that Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita are aiming for a winter wedding, although neither of their families has confirmed this.
