Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, who were madly-in-love, had a bitter end to their love story. They parted ways just four days before their fourth wedding anniversary. There was a strong buzz that Samantha was planning to have children with Naga Chaitanya before they separated. While their divorce wasn't a pleasant one, it seems like Samantha is doing her best to remove Naga Chaitanya's presence in her life. After revamping her engagement dress and restyling her engagement ring, she is now, removing her matching tattoo with him. 

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is trying to get rid of her matching tattoos with Naga Chaitanya after his second wedding

Yes, Samantha's eagle-eyed fans noticed that the actress is finally getting rid of the matching tattoo she got after her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya. As fans found her wrist tattoo fading out. On March 16, 2025, Samantha shared a series of pictures on her Instagram handle. 

In the first photo, Samantha was sipping on a drink during one of the rare nights. However, it was the actress' right forearm, which clearly showed a faint, faded outline of the tattoo with two arrows. Her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, also has a matching tattoo in the exact same spot.

Samantha's recent photo instantly went viral on the internet, as Redditors shared with the caption, "Looks like Samantha is finally getting her tattoo removed. This was a matching tattoo with Chay.. it mean 'create your own reality'."

Soon, netizens flooded the comments section. Some hoped that Samantha would get back to her happy self, while others recalled how Deepika Padukone got a tattoo of her beau's initials a year into their relationship and kept it for a long time. One user wrote, "Good riddance NEVER get partner name tattooed guys…. You never know when the relationship will come to an end, and it’s painful to remove the tattoo."

Another commented, "Atleast, Chay and Sam were married but DP got a tattoo hardly a year into dating and she kept that tattoo for a long time after." A third netizen wrote, "Hope she gets back to her happy self."

When Samantha expressed her regret about getting tattoos

However, after her divorce, Samantha seemed to regret getting permanent tattoos to express her once love for Chay. In 2022, when a fan asked her about some suggestions on tattoo design, Samantha bluntly shared that she wished that her younger self had never gotten them. She said:

"You know the one thing I'd tell my younger self is never ever get a tattoo. Never. Never ever. Ever, get a tattoo."

Samantha converted her engagement ring into a necklace

Samantha is one of those who knows how to transform something that reminds of a painful past into a happy future remembrance. Recently, Dhrumit Merulia, a jeweller and content creator, revealed that she transformed the 3-carat princess-cut diamond ring gifted to her by Naga Chaitanya on their engagement into a pendant. Samantha was spotted wearing the same cushion-cut diamond as a pendant around her. However, no official confirmation has ever been made from the actress' side.
