Ahead of his wedding with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, actor Naga Chaitanya deleted the last post he had of his ex-wife Samantha on his Instagram. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced their separation in 2021 after being married for four years.
Earlier this year in August Chaitanya and Sobhita announced their engagement. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the actor had three posts related to his ex-wife on Instagram at that time. One was the post announcing their separation in October 2021. Another was a poster of Majili from December 2018, which saw them both in lead roles. Both still remain on his feed.

Miffed fans of Samantha asked him to delete the post out of respect after he announced his engagement to Sobhita. The picture was up on his feed till recently, but it looks like it has now been deleted before his wedding to Sobhita.

In May 2023 when news surfaced that Chaitanya was dating Sobhita, he said in an interview, “Just for headlines, they’re linking my name to some third person and speculating more. This has really hurt me a lot. For no reason or fault at all of the third party, they’re being dragged into this whole issue. Whatever happened has happened, they should let go.”
