Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation on Saturday after 4 years of married life. However, the rumours regarding trouble in their marriage had started doing rounds ever since The Family Man 2 actress dropped Akkineni surname from her Instagram handles. Samantha later sparked the rumours once again after she chose not to mention Naga Chaitanya's name when she shared the trailer of his latest release, Love Story.

When she was asked about the rumours, the actress stated that she will only react to the rumours when she feels like doing it. Naga Chaitanya, on the other hand, has always maintained a dignified silence over the trouble in their marriage. However, the actor had recently mentioned that the ongoing rumours did bother him initially.
