Almost 2 years after calling it quits, Samantha Ruth Prabhu still has tattoo she dedicated to her former husband Naga Chaitanya

Telugu star Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been keeping busy with work commitments. However, fans have been worrying that she may not have moved on from her former actor-husband Naga Chaitanya.

Earlier this week, the actress attended the global premiere of Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden-starrer action thriller series 'Citadel' in London. She was accompanied by her co-star Varun Dhawan, who will next be seen in the Indian adaptation of 'Citadel'.

For the event, she stunned in a black co-ord set, Bulgari statement neckpiece and bracelet. Several pictures and videos from the grand premiere started doing the round on social media, leaving Samantha's fans in awe of her effortless beauty.

Fans, who have been going ga-ga over the 35-year-old's stunning red carpet look, noticed one of her tattoos that was a dedication to Chaitanya.

In October 2021, the duo, fondly called ChaySam by their fans, left the fans heartbroken when they announced their separation after four years of marriage - just three days before their fourth wedding anniversary.

While Samantha deleted her post, Chaitanya's Twitter account still has the announcement tweet.


It was understood that Chaitanya started dating 'Major' actress Sobhita Dhulipala a couple of months after announcing his divorce. While Chaitanya may have moved on, fans are concerned about the 'Shaakuntalam' star since she has not gotten rid of her 'Chay' tattoo, almost one-and-a-half year after her divorce.

Currently, the actress has three tattoos - all dedicated to Chaitanya. Her upper-back tattoo has the initials of her first movie 'Ye Maaya Chesave' (YMC) in 2010 with her ex-husband where the couple fell in love. YMC was also her debut movie. Her second tattoo, ‘Chay’, is inked on the right side of her ribs. Her third tattoo, the upward arrows on her wrist, means creating one's own reality. Both Chaitanya and Samantha got this same tattoo inked together and was said to be "special" for them.

Last year, during an interaction with her fans on Instagram, the actress got candid about getting inked. When a user asked her about some tattoo ideas that she would like to get someday, she said that she had some advice for her younger self. “Never, ever, get a tattoo," she could be heard saying with a smirk.

Samantha was recently seen in the mythological romantic drama 'Shaakuntalam', directed by Gunasekhar.

On the work front, 'The Family Man 2' star is awaiting the release of her project 'Kushi', alongside Vijay Deverakonda, which will hit the theatres on September 1. The Telugu-language family entertainer is helmed by 'Majili' director Shiva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers of 'Pushpa' fame.

The film marks the second collaboration between Prabhu and Deverakonda after the 2018 Telugu biographical drama 'Mahanati', based on the life of actor Savitri.
