People seem to have a lot of misconceptions about ChaySam here.
1. Though they debuted together iun YMC they only started dating later on (possibly around 2014/2015 when they filmed movies together back to back).
2. Samantha was indeed in a much publicized relationship with Siddarth (Mahesh Babu's fan remember how to well lol)
3. Samantha's marriage into the Akkineni family was good for her because though she was a top actress in SI they still have a short shelf life in big-budgeted movies (Asin ; Ileana D'Cruz ; Kajal...) because the competition is fierce and the new girls are always cheaper.
And I'm curious to see if Samantha has the acting chops or star power to do a women-centric film.
She did such an oopla when she married Chaitanya 😂
4. Samantha isn't some saint as was show by her attitude when she date Siddarth (she was insufferable back then) ; and when she dealt with Pooja Hedge in anything but a dignified manner.
6. If Siddarth's tweet is true, then Samantha is no stranger to cheating too so demonizing her ex for supposedly having cheated is quite rich imo.
People might say 2 wrongs don't make a right but I say let's think about people getting their just dessert.
7. Samantha could actually beat Deepika with her overactive PR.
I shouldn't be saying this but I'm actually glad they got divorced. I can go back watching Chaitanya's movies now.
How can we forget her twitter battle with Sidharth after her break-up? It was towards the end of 2015. So clearly, Sam and Sidharth were dating till then.
There is a perception, sam-chay started dating as early as 2009 (their first film together) but it is not true. The problem is majority of us started following Chaitanya after his marriage/divorce with Samantha, he is not as successful as Samantha, professionally.
In one of Samantha's interviews with Filmfare, 2018 (with Chinmayi) she said that it was love at first sight for her. She was in that space but Chaitanya was not, he chose to ignore it.
While shooting for Manam, Samantha and Nagarjuna used to have discussion over Chay's girlfriends, as stated by Samantha.
Chay-Sam both were aware of each other's mischiefs. He, being asked why he chose Samantha, said she is a known devil and he is okay with all her mischiefs.
And guess what, Chinmayi, Sam's best friend was doing this interview. And both of them (Chaitanya and Chinmayi) laughed at it.
It would be unfair to judge him based on his father's reputation in market, given that he was brought up by his mother that's too in some other city, away from his father.
