I did not think about my parents. I did not know what was happening at home. My mom got a lot of R words and rape threats, slut shaming. I did not know till three days later, I called my brother and asked, 'Ghar pe sab theek hai?' He told me, 'Mummy ka BP 180 X 120 hai'. He told me everything about the comments," Apoorva said.

Where has Samantha Ruth Prabhu's old 'Ye Maaya Chesave' tattoo gone? New pic makes fans wonder if she has embarked on a new beginning
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a celebrated name in South Indian cinema, is gradually reshaping her narrative both personally and professionally. Once known for her romantic association with actor Naga Chaitanya, which began on the sets of Ye Maaya Chesave , Samantha is now making quiet yet powerful choices that reflect her journey of healing and transformation. Recently, fans noticed a significant change that suggests she might be letting go of a symbolic remnant of her past—the 'YMC' tattoo that once adorned her upper back. The couple, who got married in 2017 after a long courtship, ended their marriage in 2021, creating waves across the entertainment industry. Their split, though respectful and dignified, left a lasting impression on fans who had grown fond of their on-screen and off-screen chemistry. Now, four years later, Samantha appears to be gradually erasing visible memories of that chapter. In a recent Instagram reel, Samantha appeared in a striking backless maroon outfit as she scribbled the phrase 'Nothing to Hide' on a glass board. But it wasn't just her poise or the video's creative direction that caught attention. Viewers quickly observed the conspicuous absence of the 'YMC' tattoo on her back—a design she had once proudly displayed. This observation has sparked buzz online, with admirers debating whether the ink has been permanently removed or simply concealed for the camera. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Samantha's body art has often been a subject of interest among fans. In March 2025, a photo shared by her showed the barely-there remains of another shared tattoo—two arrows on her forearm that once matched Naga Chaitanya's. The fading ink mirrored the emotional distance that had grown between the two stars after their separation. As time progresses, it appears that these tattoos, like old wounds, are slowly fading. Meanwhile, Samantha's personal life continues to draw media attention. Recently, speculation has swirled around her alleged closeness to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of the Raj & DK duo, known for their acclaimed work on The Family Man, Farzi, and Guns & Gulaabs. Rumours even hinted at the two looking for a home together, following Raj's reported divorce from Shhyamali De in 2022. However, representatives from Samantha's camp have dismissed such claims, calling them unfounded, while neither Raj nor Samantha has addressed the matter publicly. Adding to her creative journey, Samantha recently ventured into film production with the horror-comedy Subham, marking yet another new chapter in her evolving career. From shedding old symbols to embracing new roles, Samantha's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and quiet strength.
