Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s devoted fans recently noticed an old photo of her with her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, still present on his Instagram account. The fans requested that Naga Chaitanya delete the post.

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were once the most beloved couple in the South Indian film industry, but they ended their four-year marriage in 2021. Moving on, Chaitanya recently got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala in a private ceremony on August 8, 2024. The couple had been rumored to be dating for several years.

Naga Chaitanya’s Unremoved Picture with Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Following the news of Naga Chaitanya’s engagement to Sobhita, social media users, particularly fans of Samantha, reacted strongly. After their separation, Chaitanya had removed most posts featuring Samantha from his Instagram, except for promotional material from their film Majili. However, one photo from 2018, showing the couple standing beside a racing car with the caption,

“Throwback… Mrs and the girlfriend,” remains on his account.

Netizens React to the Old Photo

Amidst Chaitanya’s engagement news, Samantha’s fans swarmed the comments on this old post, urging him to remove it. One fan commented,

“Can you please delete this picture? As a girl, I know how much it hurts Sam.” Another wrote, “Please delete this post; it’s really heartbreaking.”

Interestingly, rumors suggest that Chaitanya and Sobhita’s engagement date holds significance, as it is the same day Samantha proposed to Chaitanya in the past. When photos of the engagement surfaced, a fan pointed out this connection, further fueling the discussion.
