Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya were once hailed as the most adored couples in Tollywood. They shared the screen in the 2010 hit movie, Ye Maaya Chesave, and started dating each other shortly after. Samantha and Chaitanya tied the knot in 2017. However, they ended their four-year marriage in 2021 and announced their divorce. Soon after that, Naga started dating Sobhita Dhulipala but kept their relationship under wraps, and now, the couple is engaged.
Once, Samantha Ruth Prabhu mentioned that she didn't believe Naga Chaitanya when he expressed his love for her as he wasn't sincere. Almost eight years back, in a conversation with TFPC on their official YouTube channel, Samantha and Naga opened up about their love life. During the interaction, the host asked Chay to propose to Samantha then and there. While Chay was feeling a bit shy, Samantha jokingly urged him and said:
"Say it like you mean it."

Samantha also playfully shared that she didn't believe it and asked him to say it again like he really meant it.
