In a world where celebrity splits often become tabloid feasts, one story has remained stubbornly persistent—claims that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu demanded a ₹200 crore alimony from her former husband, actor Naga Chaitanya. But insiders close to the couple now confirm what many hoped was true all along: the rumor was entirely false.

There was no alimony. There was no legal battle over money. There was only silence, mutual respect, and the difficult decision to part ways.

Their joint statement in 2021 called the separation “mutual.” But as is often the case, silence bred speculation. In the weeks that followed, social media threads and gossip columns fixated on a staggering sum—a ₹200 crore alimony figure, as if healing came with a price tag.

But the truth, it seems, is far more grounded. Samantha refused financial support. She didn’t want a penny. “All she took with her was her dignity,” said a source close to the actress. “It was never about money. It was about peace of mind, and moving forward with grace.”

The narrative of alimony unfortunately became a stick to beat her with. In a society where women are still judged for choosing independence over compromise, the fabricated figure painted her as materialistic. What it actually masked was courage—courage to walk away from a public relationship, knowing full well the whispers that would follow.

What made the situation harder was the timing. As Samantha focused on her career—rebuilding herself, one role at a time—her past kept resurfacing in distorted forms. Her name was pulled into unrelated controversies. She was questioned, doubted, dissected. Yet, through it all, she never retaliated. She simply worked.

In parallel, Naga Chaitanya too chose silence. He later found companionship with actor Sobhita Dhulipala, well after the legal formalities of the separation were complete. By all accounts, their marriage had ended before either sought new beginnings.

The real story, perhaps, is not about who said what, or who moved on faster. It’s about two people choosing dignity over drama. Samantha never asked for ₹200 crore. But in choosing herself, she may have gained something far more valuable.
