South superstar, Samantha Akkineni has also proved her love for repeated outfits and dare to break the unwritten rule that celebs don't re-run their sartorial picks. It was on October 6, 2017, when Samantha had tied the knot with her Yeh Maaya Chesave co-star and an equally famous star in the South film industry, Naga Chaitanya. Samantha and Chay (as everyone fondly calls him) have been happily living their married life since then and are sheer goals!

Did you know Samantha Akkineni’s engagement saree was personalised to incorporate the milestones and special details of the #ChaiSam love story?

But Samantha Akkineni was trolled for her outfit picks post her wedding with Naga Chaitanya. Recalling the negative criticism she had faced for wearing a revealing outfit for the first time after marriage, Samantha stated in an interview with the Hyderabad Times, “I remember, the first time when I wore something revealing after marriage, I was trolled terribly and it was very, very hard. But I noticed that when I did it the second time, it was not so bad. It’s all about taking that first step. I’m not going to say that I did something brave. I was scared of the repercussions and of the trolling. But at the same, I told myself that things have to change and I’m going to do as much as I can to be a part of that change.” (Also Read: Six Bollywood Brides Who Donned Heirloom Bridalwear and Jewellery For Their Wedding Celebrations)
