However, soon after, rumors of Naga Chaitanya dating actress Sobhita Dhulipala started doing the rounds. Articles that suggest that Samantha is behind this also made headlines.
But recently, the bold and vivacious Samantha decided to put a stop to such baseless allegations and took to Twitter to blast a derogatory article.

The article titled “Chay fans lash out at Sam’s PR team” alleged that several news houses are suggesting that Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s PR team is planting fake stories about Naga Chaitanya to put him in a bad light. It also hinted that both Chaitanya and Samantha’s teams are lashing out at each other after their split.
Retweeting the article, the actress penned a strong-worded tweet asking people to grow up and move on. She also called out the societal double standards that showcase women as villains. This is what she wrote:
“Rumours on girl – Must be true !!
Rumours on boy – Planted by girl !!
Grow up guys ..
Parties involved have clearly moved on .. you should move on too !! Concentrate on your work … on your families .. move on!!”

People going “why didn’t she ignore it” miss the whole point. Why SHOULD she ignore it? It’s defamation, it’s slander, it’s pathetic. Its 2022, stop telling women to shut up and take it.
You go Queen 🔥🔥🔥 kick their ass https://t.co/rfQ4csbMgK

The way Telugu media treats Sam is horrible. I have seen so many websites where they directly blame her, they already came to a conclusion that it's her fault. They question her career choices, her clothing everything. Pathetic. More power to u Sam. 💓👏 #Samantha https://t.co/OwN6N9Ivgf

Two people have separated wilfully and have moved on in their lives too. Why should anyone be defamed in such a disrespectful manner? Seriously guys, get a life!
