On October 6, 2020, Samantha and Chaitanya had completed three years of their married life.

Wishing Chay, Samantha had written, “You are my person and I am yours, that whatever door we come to, we will open it together.

In an interview with Famously Filmfare, Samantha had revealed that it had taken them eight years to realise their love for each other. She had shared, "It took us eight years to be at the same point. Because there were times when I really liked him, and he was not in that space. And there were times when we wanted to work it out, but external factors. It took us a very long time to be in the same space."

In an interview with the Indian Express, Samantha had called her decision of marrying Chaitanya ‘the best decision’ of her life. She had shared, "Yesterday, I called him Chay and he said “ha?” and I had a Deja Vu moment. I went back to the time I was working with him on Ye Maaya Chesave. I was like – wow, I married him. I felt so happy. Immediately, I said a prayer. I thanked God. I am genuinely so happy. It is the best decision of my life."
