Nagarjuna slams media for cooking up his comment on Samantha-Naga Chaitanya divorce

Just when it seemed that the dust had settled on the Naga Chaitanya-Samantha Ruth Prabhu divorce, Telugu superstar Nagarjuna had to go public on Thursday to clear the air on his stand on the matter.

Mumbai (Maharashtra): On Thursday, Nagarjuna took to Twitter to clarify that his statement regarding his son Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce that has been doing the rounds is "absolutely false."

"The news in social media and electronic media quoting my statement about Samantha & Nagachaitanya is completely false and absolute nonsense," he tweeted.

In October 2021, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation on their social media accounts. Months after their announcement, a news report claimed that Nagarjuna has broken his silence about the couple's divorce.

Nagarjuna also requested the media to not spread false news."I request media friends to please refrain from posting rumours as news. #GiveNewsNotRumours," he added.

In recent media reports, Nagarjuna had been quoted as saying that it was Samantha who had pushed for the divorce and not Naga Chaitanya, who's the superstar's son. A number of Telugu publications even claimed that Nagarjuna had discussed the issue with them.

Reports even quoted Nagarjuna as saying that Naga Chaitanya was "worried about him and his family reputation" when he and Samantha decided to end their nearly four-year-long marriage.
