Actor Naga Chaitanya is no stranger to scrutiny of his personal life after separation from Samantha Ruth Prabhu. He was recently asked in an interview if it bothers him when people speculate about his life.
Naga said that it “doesn’t bother him beyond a point” when speculation about his personal life is rife. “People close to me know the truth,” he said, adding, “I want to be known more for my work than my personal life. So, I try to focus on the craft and let movies do the talking. At the end of the day, if my movies leave the audience entertained, that’s what I want to be remembered for.”
Chay and Sam met on the ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ sets in 2010, and after dating on and off for years, they got engaged in 2017. They tie the knot in Hindu and Christian ceremonies in Goa later the same year. Fans were so in love with the couple they even dubbed them ChaySam. However, after months of speculation, they confirmed their separation on social media in 2021. Chay was rumoured to be dating Sobhita Dhulipala when pictures of them on a vacation went viral on social media.
On the work front, Naga Chaitanya was recently seen in the bilingual film ‘Custody,’ which got mixed reviews and a lukewarm response at the box office. He also debuted on OTT with the Prime Video web series ‘Dhoota.’ He will be seen next in Chandoo Mondeti’s ‘Thandel,’ opposite Sai Pallavi.
