Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, once the film industry’s most loved couple, shocked fans when they announced their divorce in October 2021. The couple has now moved on with Naga Chaitanya set to marry Sobhita Dhulipala on December 4 and Samantha Ruth Prabhu basks in the success of Citadel: Honey Bunny. The actress recently experienced a personal tragedy as she lost her father Joseph Prabhu. Now, amid Naga Chaitanya’s impending marriage and Samantha’s loss of her father, Joseph Prabhu’s poignant post on the former couple’s split on Facebook is going viral. His post is getting a lot of attention following his death on Friday.

In the resurfaced post, Samantha Ruth Prabhu wrote, “Long, long time ago, there was a story, and it’s gone! So, let’s start a new story; and a new chapter!” At the time, Joseph Prabhu had also shared photos from ChaySam’s wedding. Fans have now flooded the comments section of the post with messages of support.

Replying to a user on her post, Samantha’s father Ruth Prabhu said the news of the divorce was “like a bolt from the blue” and it took him time to process it. “It took me a long time to overcome my emotions and feelings. Life is too short to sit on your feelings and get bogged down,” he wrote.

Samantha and Naga Chaitanya were married for four years before announcing their separation. Naga Chaitanya is now set to marry Sobhita Dhulipala. The couple got engaged in August and will tie the knot on December 4 at Annapurna Studios.
