Samantha's clarification comes at a time when there's buzz that Naga Chaitanya and she are headed for a divorce.

Amid divorce reports, Samantha Akkineni held an 'Ask Me Anything' session on social media where her fans bombarded her with some personal questions. 

For the uninitiated, of late, Samantha has been making headlines as several media reports claim that her four-year-long marriage with South star Naga Chaitanya is in troubled waters. Reports suggest the couple is headed for a divorce. Well, it all started when Samantha removed 'Akkineni' from her social media bio and chose to go by just S. What has been adding fuel to the fire is Samantha's solo trip, her missing from the success bash of her husband's film 'Love Story' and even her absence from Naga's dinner with Aamir Khan. 

Meanwhile, reports that Samantha is moving to Mumbai is also doing the rounds.

In line with what is being reported in the media, a few social media users took the 'AMA' opportunity to ask Samantha if has any plan to move out of Hyderabad and settle in Mumbai. One of the fans asked Samantha, "Are you really moving to Mumbai?" to which the actress replied, "I don’t know where this rumour started but just like a hundred other rumours, not true. Hyderabad is my home, will always be my home. Hyderabad is giving me everything and I will continue to live here very happily." 

Samantha's clarification comes at a time when there's buzz that Naga Chaitanya and she are headed for a divorce.  

In the meantime, Naga Chaitanya, breaking his silence over how he handles the media when his personal life is discussed in public, the latter said he chooses to focus on his work. In a recent interview with Film Companion, Chaitanya said, "Initially, yes, it was a little painful. I was like 'why is entertainment heading this way?' But after that, what I've learned is that in today's age, news replaces news. Today there's one news, tomorrow there's another news, today's news is forgotten. But in my grandfather's time, there were magazines, and magazines used to come once in a month."

Samantha earned love and appreciation for her work in 'The Family Man Season 2'. She played the character of Raji who was a Sri Lankan Tamil liberation fighter in the series. She got the Best Actress (Series) award for her performance at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2021. Meanwhile, Naga is basking in the success of his film 'Love Story'.
