Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya parted ways in 2021.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu has seemingly embraced a fresh start following her divorce from Naga Chaitanya. The couple, who was married for four years, parted ways in 2021. Now, reports suggest that the actress repurposed her diamond engagement ring into a pendant.
According to a viral claim by Surat-based jewellery designer Dhrumit Merulia, Samantha transformed her engagement ring into a necklace. He shared a video on Instagram explaining the process, mentioning that she now wears the pendant regularly. In his caption, he noted, “Samantha Ruth Prabhu isn’t the only one who has repurposed her engagement ring after the divorce, and it’s a growing trend. Many people are even buying new divorce rings to celebrate their new life.”
This isn’t the first time Samantha has given sentimental items a new purpose. In 2024, she made headlines for repurposing her wedding gown for an awards ceremony. Fashion designer Kresha Bajaj reworked the dress, and fans quickly dubbed it her ‘revenge dress.’
Sharing pictures of herself in the redesigned gown, Samantha wrote on Instagram, “We cannot ignore sustainability anymore. We’re past that stage when it was a choice. It’s now a necessity for the longevity of our planet that we call home. The dress I am wearing today is a beloved gown that has been repurposed for this occasion by the most talented @kreshabajajofficial. While that might sound insignificant… entitled even… to many… I assure you that repurposing my old clothes is only one of many steps I am consciously taking to alter my habits and make my lifestyle more sustainable. And every little gesture, every little decisive action, is important. It all adds up. I urge myself and all of you that have goodwill for me in your hearts to make those little efforts. Thank you.”
Meanwhile, Samantha is rumoured to be dating Raj Nidimoru, one half of the Raj & DK creator duo. The two previously worked together on The Family Man 2, Citadel: Honey Bunny, and their upcoming project Rakt Bramhand.
Naga Chaitanya, on the other hand, reportedly tied the knot with Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024. Their wedding took place at his ancestral Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.
