Ahead of Naga Chaitanya’s marriage with Sobhita Dhulipala, Samantha Ruth Prabhu spoke about the fallout of her divorce with the Bangarraju star. The Citadel: Honey Bunny star spoke about the labels she got for being a divorcee and owned them despite letting them hurt her.
“When a woman goes through a divorce, there is a lot of shame and stigma attached to that. I get a lot of comments saying, ‘second hand, used, wasted life’. You are pushed into a corner where you are supposed to feel like a failure. You are supposed to feel guilt and shame that you were once married, and now you are not. It can be really hard for families and girls who have gone through that,” said Samantha to Galatta India.
“Initially, it hurt. Then I decided to flip it. I’ll own it. I am separated, I am divorced. Things haven’t been a fairytale, but that does not mean I sit in a corner, cry about it, and never have the courage to live again. It wasn’t any kind of revenge or anything although it looked like it. It was just that ‘yes, this happened’ but it doesn’t mean my life ends there. It begins where it ends. I am happy, doing good work, with incredible people, and looking forward to the next phase of my life,” she continued.
