Samantha
Akkineni
is
unarguably
one
of
the
most
sought-after
actresses
of
the
South
Indian
film
industry.
The
gorgeous
actress
is
totally
busy
in
her
acting
career
with

However,

is
now
making
headlines
by
dropping
the
'Akkineni'
surname
from
her
social
media
handles.
Yes,
you
read
it
right.
The
Family
Man
2
actress
has
now
dropped
the
'Akkineni'
surname
from
both
her
official
Instagram
and
Twitter
handles,
and
changed
her
username
to
'S'.
The
actress,
who
made
her
debut
under
the
name
Samantha
Ruth
Prabu,
had
changed
her
name
to

after
her
getting
married
to
popular
actor
Naga
Chaitanya.
Notably,
the
actress
has
not
changed
her
name
in
her
official
Facebook
handle,
so
far.
Samantha's
new
move
has
sparked
rumours,
which
suggest
that
all
is
not
well
between
her
and
Naga
Chaitanya.
But,
some
other
sources
suggest
that
she
dropped
the
surname
and
changed
the
username
to
'S'
as
a
part
of
the
promotion
of
her
upcoming
project,
Shakuntalam.
However,
Samantha
has
not
revealed
why
she
dropped
the
'Akkineni'
surname
from
her
Instagram
and
Twitter
page,
yet.
The
actress
has
been
trending
on
all
major
social
media
platforms,
post
changing
her
name.
Coming
to
the
work
front,
Samantha
was
last
seen
in
The
Family
Man
2,
one
of
the
most
popular
web

The

actress
earned
rave
reviews
for
her
power-packed
performances
as
the
lead
antagonist
Raji
in
the
web
series,
which

the
