Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya parted ways in 2021. Though the actor duo have never shared the reason for their divorce, they continue to share a cordial relationship with each other. A display of the same was seen when the actress shared the same roof as her ex-mother-in-law, Amala Akkineni. At an award function, Samantha gave a moving speech on completing 15 years in the Telugu film industry, which made her ex-husband's mother proud.
