Samantha’s first response to ‘false rumours and stories’ about her divorce

Samantha faced merciless trolling after she and Chaitanya announced their separation, as unsavoury rumours began to spread about her. On October 2, 2021, the couple took to their social media handles to announce their divorce. The couple had issued an official statement together that read, ‘After much deliberation and thought, Chay and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths.”

Samantha hit back at “false rumours and stories”  being spread against her after she and Chaitanya announced their separation. She posted on her social media account, “They say I had affairs, never wanted children, that I am an opportunist and now that I have had abortions. A divorce in itself is an extremely painful process. Let alone allowing me the time to heal. This attack on me personally, has been relentless. But I promise you this, I will never allow this or anything else they say, break me.”

When she was called a ‘second hand-item’

Should have googled that first ?”

A post shared by Samantha (@samantharuthprabhuoffl)

Sharing a collage of pictures from the event, she shared a long post on her Instagram story. She wrote, “As a woman, I bear firsthand knowledge of what it means to be judged. We judge women based on what they wear, their race, education, social standing, appearance, skin tone, and the list goes on and on.”

Samantha continued saying, “Making snap judgments about a person simply based on the clothes they wear is quite literally the easiest thing one can do. Now that we’re in the year 2022, can we finally stop judging a woman based on the hemlines & necklines she adorns and focus instead on bettering ourselves?”

She also added, “Turning that judgment inward and training it on one’s own is evolution! Projecting our deals on someone else never did anyone any good… lets gently rewrite the way we measure and understand a person.”

When Samantha got trolled for sharing a bikini photo

In 2017, Samantha shared a photo of herself in a bikini and faced rude comments from users. But, instead of letting it slide, the actor took the troll in question to the task. Samantha, who was then about to get married to Naga Chaitanya, soon and had gone for a vacation with the Akkineni family to reportedly celebrate the success of Naga Chaitanya’s latest film, Rarandoi Veduka Chudham.

A guy commented on Samantha’s photo saying, “ur life is not just yours. Generations will learn from u, samantha, I seriously doubt for how long will the akkinenis tolerate these #nagachaitanya.”

Samantha, hit back and wrote, “Generations will learn what exactly.That you will be judged not by character but by what you wear. Shame on you and your shallow thinking.” However, the person in question had made his Twitter account unavailable after Samantha’s fans began to slam him for his regressive comments.

“How I love the ‘block’ option on Twitter. In seconds you just don’t exist (sic),” Samantha wrote  after blocking the user.
