Naga Chaitanya made this statement while explaining his and Samantha’s divorce, which was being termed as a political conspiracy. Her term was disliked by Samantha’s fans.
The controversy began when an Indian politician, Konda Surekha, claimed that Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s divorce was the result of a political conspiracy, in which Samantha was blackmailed.
After the statement, both stars offered clarifications, with Samantha responding to the politician with respect, while Naga Chaitanya referred to Samantha as his ‘ex-spouse’ in his statement.
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya divorced in 2021, and both termed the matter as a mutual decision.
