Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni and his family hosted Bollywood actor Aamir Khan at dinner earlier this week, and a picture from the evening seems to have made its way to the internet. Aamir was in Hyderabad to render support to Naga Chaitanya’s latest release ‘Love Story’. The photo shows Nagarjuna, his wife Amala, sons Chaitanya and Akhil, and ‘Love Story’ director Sekhar Kammula, all cutting a cake with Aamir at their Hyderabad home.
Eagle-eyed fans, however, noticed that Chaitanya’s wife, actor Samantha Akkineni was missing from the frame. If rumours are to be believed, there seems to be a rift in their marriage. In a recent interview, Chaitanya said he chooses to focus on his work amid it all.
“Initially, yes, it was a little painful. I was like ‘why is entertainment heading this way?’ But after that, what I've learned is that in today's age, news replaces news. Today there's one news, tomorrow there's another news, today's news is forgotten. But in my grandfather's time, there were magazines, and magazines used to come once in a month. And that news sustained till you got the next piece of news. But today you're getting the next piece of news, the next second or the next minute. It doesn't stay in people's minds for too long. The actual news, the news that matters, will stay. But the superficial news, the news that is used to create TRPs, is forgotten. Once I made this observation, it stopped affecting me,” he said.
Samantha was asked about the rumours recently when she visited the Tirumala temple, she rebuked the reporter saying, “I have come to a temple, don’t you have any sense?”
