Samantha Prabhu's father completely shocked after hearing about her separation from Naga Chaitanya

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya have recently announced their separation ending their four years of marriage and left everyone heartbroken. The couple, popularly known as ChaySam, ended weeks of speculation while requesting their fans and media to allow them privacy in their official statement.

And now Samantha's father Joseph Prabhu has shared his reaction to his daughter's divorce announcement.

Joseph Prabhu was completely shocked when he got to know about Samantha and Naga's divorce. He did not feel anything as his mind went totally blank, he said. However, he hopes that the situation will improve soon and Samantha's fans have also been tweeting their support in these trying times.

Following the release of their statement on separation, Telugu superstar Nagarjuna had reacted to the development with a sweet parting note.

Taking to social media, the superstar said, "With a heavy heart let me say this! Whatever happened between Sam and Chay is very unfortunate. What happens between a wife and husband is very personal. Sam and Chay are both dear to me. My family will always cherish the moments spent with Sam and she will always be dear to us. May God bless them both."

In a statement addressed to his well-wishers, Chaitanya wrote, "After much deliberation and thought, Sam and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us. We request our fans, well-wishers and the media to support us during this difficult time and give us the privacy we need to move on. Thank you for your support."

The same was shared by Samantha on her social media accounts.

Speculations about their marriage disintegrating intensified last month after Samantha dropped 'Akkineni' from her name on her Twitter account, but neither addressed the rumours head-on. Samantha and Naga Chaitanya got married in Goa in 2017
