Samantha's 3.5 years marriage with Naga Chaitanya in trouble?

Actress Samantha Akkineni impressed her fans and critics with her performance in The Family Man season 2 as Raji. For her performance in the show, she received the Best Performance Female (series) at the Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne (IFFM).

Samantha Akkineni is the wife of actor Naga Chaitanya; both are adorable makes powerful couples of the south Indian film industry. They are popularly addressed as ChaySam by their fans. 

Ever since Samantha removed the surname Akkineni from her Twitter and Instagram, many speculations and reports about troubles in their marriage started growing among fans and media.

On July 31st, Samantha left many confused as she changed her name on social media by just ‘S’. But the question is, what made her drop her popular surname Akkineni?

Samantha was asked the same question in her recent interview, which remained tight-lipped and avoided disclosing the reason. She is very active on social media and keeps on posting her daily updates. 

Here is what she said when asked about the same,“I will respond to any controversy or a troll only when I want to talk about it, but not when people ask me.” 

Samantha further said, “I don’t want to react to any of those things. I don’t like conflicts. Like how anyone is entitled to their own opinion of things, even I’m entitled to mine.”

According to Great Andhra's reports, even Naga Chaitanya is not talking about the matter. He is also avoiding talking to producers and directors who are inquiring about his family issues.

Other reports suggest that Samantha and Naga have purchased a huge piece of land in Goa to enjoy the beach life. They have started the process of building a modern farmhouse on the beach. 

That's sad if true. I hope all is well between them.

That's so sad, they really looked so happy together 😞

Obviously there's no truth to such rumours. Just because she dropped her surname from social media doesn't mean she wants to split. May be she realized that changing one's last name to the husband's name is simply a patriarchal practice which she wanted to stop following?

Her original name Samantha Ruth Prabhu is better sounding anyway.

I hope not. I really like them as a couple

Thank God I am not a celebrity. I dropped my surname from all my SM accounts about 5 year ago because I didn’t want to follow the patriarchal norm,  but no one even blinked. 😂
