For a second movie Autonagar Surya Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya collaborated in 2014. According to popular belief sparks sparked between them as they were filming the movie. The couple participated in some adorable Twitter flirtation in 2015. Samantha wished Chaitanya his birthday on Twitter in 2015 sort of hinting that something was developing between them. Samantha sent Chaitanya a wonderful birthday tweet. She penned I wish my favorite person a happy birthday. Always and Forever. It's going to be an outstanding year. Chaitanya acknowledged her response and thanked her calling her paapa (his unique nickname for her). At this point rumors of a potential romance between the two began to circulate.

Samantha Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya gave life to rumors by showing up to a wedding together in August 2016. Samantha Prabhu admitted to dating Naga Chaitanya for the first time in September 2016 but stated that there were no plans for a wedding anytime soon. Samantha and Chaitanya got married in Goa in October 2017. On October 6 they were legally married in a Hindu ceremony. On the following day October 7 a Christian ceremony was held.

It has been difficult she admitted when KJo questioned her about her unsuccessful marriage to Naga Chaitanya and subsequent divorce. But things are well now. It's okay. I am more resilient than ever. If there are any resentments between her and Chay Karan questioned her. Are there harsh feelings like if you put us both in a room you have to hide sharp objects? the actress responded. Yes as of right now. Therefore the current scenario is not nice. Maybe things will change in the future but things between us are not okay.

Numerous rumors have been spreading online ever since Samantha Ruth and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation many of which Samantha is being held responsible for. Samantha was even accused in some instances of never wanting children and having abortions as well as having affairs. She however said that these rumors were personal attacks and that she would not allow them to insult her. I am overpowered by your emotional interest in my personal crisis. I want to thank you everyone for your compassion concern and efforts to protect me from the untrue rumors and stories that are being circulated. They claim that I have had affairs never wanted children am just an opportunist and have now had abortions. All these things are not true. Divorce is a very difficult process in itself not to mention giving me some time to recover. This personal attack on me has been ongoing. However I guarantee that I won't ever let this or anything else they say break me.
