South superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni on Saturday (October 2) issued a statement after his son Naga Chaitanya and daughter-in-law Samantha Akkineni announced their divorce after remaining together for 4 years. Nagarjuna took to Twitter and said that Samantha ‘will always be dear’ to the family.
“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 both are 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 with strength,” he wrote.
