Samantha is currently coping with the painful loss of her father, Joseph Prabhu, while her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, is preparing to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala on December 4. The timing of these events has deeply affected fans and family alike.
Joseph Prabhu, who shared a close bond with Naga Chaitanya and the Akkineni family, had been devastated by Samantha and Naga’s divorce, a heartbreak he expressed publicly on social media. In a poignant Facebook post, he shared his feelings about the split, saying, “Long long ago, there was a story, and it doesn’t exist anymore! So, let’s start a new story; and a new chapter!” His words, accompanied by images from Samantha and Naga’s wedding, resonated deeply with fans who sent messages of support.
Joseph also reflected on the emotional toll the divorce had taken on him, admitting that it took him time to process the news. He described it as “like bolts from the blue” and emphasized that “life is too short to sit down with feelings and get bogged down.”
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, who were married for four years before announcing their separation in 2021, had both been struggling with personal challenges. While Samantha has been focusing on her career and managing a rare health condition, Naga is moving forward with his life, preparing for his second marriage to Sobhita Dhulipala.
Fans continue to remember Joseph Prabhu’s heartfelt words, as they now reflect on both his death and the ongoing emotional journey of Samantha and Naga.
