In a candid moment during a recent interview, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu appeared to take a subtle jab at her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, by revealing that she had once spent a “ridiculous amount” of money on expensive gifts for him. This comment, though made without directly naming Chaitanya, has raised eyebrows, considering their high-profile marriage and eventual separation.
A Fun Yet Insightful Interview
Samantha was recently part of a light-hearted rapid-fire round with her Citadel: Honey Bunny co-star, Varun Dhawan, during an appearance on Prime Video’s YouTube channel. When Dhawan asked Samantha about the most outrageous amount of money she had spent on something “completely useless,” her answer was swift and playful.
“My ex’s expensive gifts,” Samantha responded, followed by a chuckle. When Dhawan probed further, asking how much she had spent, Samantha laughed and replied, “Quite a bit! Okay, move on!” The exchange left viewers amused but also sparked speculation, as Samantha’s mention of her ex’s gifts was a clear reference to her former marriage.
A Glimpse into Her Past Relationship
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya were married in 2017, after dating on and off for several years. Their wedding in Goa was a much-publicized affair, often considered a fairy-tale romance by their fans. However, in 2021, the couple announced their separation, which came as a shock to many. The reasons for their split were never publicly disclosed, and both actors have since moved on in different directions.
Chaitanya, who has been open about his new relationship, is set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The couple got engaged in August 2024, and their wedding is scheduled for December 4, 2024, at Annapurna Studios. Fans often spot Chaitanya and Dhulipala together on vacations, and their engagement has solidified their relationship in the public eye.
Samantha’s Career Moves
Meanwhile, Samantha has been keeping busy with her career. She was recently seen in the Indian spy action series Citadel: Honey Bunny, streaming on Prime Video. In the series, Samantha plays the role of a spy named Bunny, alongside Varun Dhawan, who portrays Honey. The series, which released on November 7, is part of the global Citadel franchise, produced by the Russo Brothers.

Despite the personal challenges she has faced, Samantha continues to focus on her career, showing her resilience through new and exciting projects.
