Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s Shared Tattoo Sparks Speculation
Samantha Prabhu has a subtle tattoo on her forearm that she once shared a profound sentiment about, in connection to her ex, Naga Chaitanya.
Recently, Samantha Ruth Prabhu posted a collection of images on Instagram, and the first image particularly intrigued her followers. The post quickly gained traction on Reddit, leading fans to wonder if she might be in the process of removing her matching tattoo with Naga Chaitanya. The two, who were once a famous couple, had each gotten two arrows inked on their forearms during their relationship. Observers noted that the tattoo on Samantha’s arm appears significantly faded in her latest picture, prompting the speculation about its removal.
On a Sunday morning, Samantha shared a series of images showcasing a rare night out. One photo, in particular, displayed her enjoying a drink, prominently featuring her right forearm where the faint outline of the tattoo is visible. Naga Chaitanya also has the identical tattoo in the same location on his arm. The post circulated widely on the Reddit page BollyBlindsNGossip with a caption speculating about the tattoo’s removal, explaining the tattoo’s meaning: “create your own reality.”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Tattoos
For those unfamiliar, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala married in 2017, later separating in October 2021. Samantha previously described the significance of her arrow tattoo on Instagram, stating, “My tattoo means create your own reality. Chay and I got it together. It’s really special for us.” Beyond this tattoo, she also chose to have ‘Chay’ inked along her ribcage, commemorating their connection. In addition, Samantha has a tattoo of the letters YMC at the nape of her neck, serving as a nod to her debut film, Ye Maaya Chesave (2010), in which she starred opposite Naga Chaitanya.
When Samantha Ruth Prabhu Advised Against Getting Tattoos
In a candid moment during an AMA session in 2022, Samantha reflected on her tattoo choices, advising her younger self against getting any ink. “You know the one thing I’d tell my younger self is never ever get a tattoo. Never. Never ever. Ever, get a tattoo,” she remarked, providing insight into her changed perspective on body art.
In a related conversation in 2022, Naga Chaitanya also addressed his own tattoo during an interview with Bollywood Bubble. He expressed his reservations about fans emulating his tattoo, which encodes his and Samantha’s wedding date in Morse code. He stated, “I feel really bad when they tattoo these things. It’s like ‘don’t, things might just change. I can change the tattoo’.” Although he acknowledged the possibility of altering the tattoo, he mentioned that he had not yet made any decisions regarding it.
Naga Chaitanya married Sobhita Dhulipala in December of the preceding year, while rumors have begun to circulate regarding Samantha’s potential relationship with director Raj Nidimoru, known for his work on projects such as ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ and ‘The Family Man.’
