Samantha Ruth Prabhu trends on social media

Now, Samantha’s words in one of her latest interviews about Ye Maaya Chesave’s re-release have caught the attention of many. As the film is all set to re-release on July 18, 2025, Samantha was asked whether she would promote it. Without thinking twice, she said that she has no interest in promoting the film with anyone and has decided to stay away from the re-release.

These statements have not gone down well with many, especially Naga Chaitanya’s fans, who were expecting Sam to promote Ye Maaya Chesave, even if it would be without Naga Chaitanya. 

Now, Samantha is being trolled on social media, as many are posting messages claiming she is ignoring the film that made her a star. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha played the lead roles in Ye Maaya Chesave and fell in love during its shoot. Later, they got married, but unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce. 

While Naga Chaitanya has moved on, some overenthusiastic fans still want Samantha and Chaitanya to come together on stage to promote the film, something that clearly won’t happen.

Samantha faces the ire of netizens

More than anything, a few fans and general audiences are upset with Samantha’s bold statement that she is not going to live her life based on what others expect of her. This has led to even more backlash recently.

If that wasn’t enough, cryptic posts by Raj Nidimoru’s wife have given Samantha’s rumored relationship a new angle altogether. But one should understand that it is Samantha’s choice to live life the way she wants. Whether she promotes Ye Maaya Chesave or not, it is her personal decision, and that should be respected. Meanwhile, her new production, Subham, is now trending on OTT.
