Naga Chaitanya and Samantha made the news of their divorce public on Saturday. Both of them have released a common statement regarding the separation. They did not divulge any reason for what may have prompted this decision but said their over a decade long friendship will continue.
Meanwhile, it looks like Samantha has done a favor to Naga Chaitanya even after the divorce. It looks like the announcement has been timed to ensure that it does not disturb Love Story theatrical run and promotions. The issue has started before the release but Akkineni family felt it will be a distraction before the movie release.
If they made it public then itself, entire media and public focus would be on divorce Issue and the film would suffer. So the announcement has been postponed. When it is divorce, it is quite natural that Samantha need not think about what helps or what does not for Naga Chaitanya.
She no longer has any stakes in Naga Chaitanya’s life or career but she was understandable about this apprehension and co-operated to delay the divorce announcement. So the announcement has been made after the first week run of Love Story.
