Samantha's father reacts to her separation from Naga Chaitanya

It was only a couple of days ago when we reported about how actors Samantha Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya have confirmed their separation where the former went on to put a statement confirming the same and asked everyone to respect their privacy as well.

It was indeed a shock where after four years of marriage, the couple decided to part ways. Now, Samantha Prabhu's father Joseph Prabhu has also gone on to react to the 'ChaySam' split. According to a news portal, he stated that his mind has gone blank ever since he got to know about Naga Chaitanya and Samantha’s split. Joseph Prabhu has also reportedly stated that he hoped things would soon get better and he had even tried to convince Samantha to rethink her decision.

Just like Prabhu, Chaitanya also shared on Instagram where the post read, “To all our well wishers. After much deliberation and thought Sam and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us. We request our fans, well wishers and the media to support us during this difficult time and give us the privacy we need to move on. Thank you for your support.”

In fact, Chaitanya's father and icon, Nagarjuna also went on to talk about it and penned a note on Twitter that read, “With a heavy heart let me say this! Whatever happened between Sam and Chay is very unfortunate. What happens between a wife and husband is very personal. Sam and Chay, both are dear to me. My family will always cherish the moments spent with Sam and she will always be dear to us. May God bless them both with strength.”
