Chay also mentioned that having grown up in a broken family, he thinks 1000 times before breaking a relationship. Naga Chaitanya opened up about his marriage and ex-Samantha on RawTalks VK podcast, "We wanted to go our own ways. For our own reasons, we have taken this decision and we respect each other. We are moving on in our lives, in our own way. What more explanation is needed, I don’t understand. I’m hoping the audience and media will respect that. We have asked for privacy. Please respect us and give us privacy on this matter. But, unfortunately, it is a headline. It became a topic or gossip. It became entertainment."

I am so happy and we have so much respect for each other."

Divorce happened for the betterment of those involved: Chay

Reflecting on how the marriage came to an end, Naga Chaitanya said, "It was for the betterment of whoever was involved in the marriage… Whatever the decision was, it was a very conscious decision after much thought and with a lot of respect for the other person. I’m saying this because it’s a very sensitive topic for me. I come from a broken family. I’m a child from a broken family so I know what the experience is like. I will think 1000 times before breaking a relationship because I know the repercussions… It was a mutual decision…"

“It’s not like it happened overnight for me to feel down. I feel bad that it happened but everything happens for a reason. You build yourself, you keep progressing and you will find the right path soon. That’s happened to me," he added.

Samantha and Naga Chaitanya tied the knot in 2017 and announced their separation in 2021.
