Did Samantha Ruth Prabhu remove her tattoo with Naga Chaitanya link 4 years after divorce? Fans are convinced
Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu set the internet abuzz on Friday with the announcement of her new initiative, Nothing to Hide. The actor made the announcement with a brief teaser video on her social media. The video featured Samantha herself. But apart from the new initiative, what many fans noticed was that Samantha was missing a tattoo on her back, one she had got inked a few years ago when she was married to Naga Chaitanya. (Also read: Reddit spots Samantha Ruth Prabhu 'getting rid' of matching tattoo with Naga Chaitanya: 'Finally, time to move on') The video shows Samantha walk up to the camera and write 'Nothing to Hide' with a marker. She then turns around and walks away. Some fans noted that the YMC tattoo that Samantha had, signifying her film, Ye Maaya Chesave, was missing. "Samantha got her YMC tattoo removed," exclaimed one fan. 'I see no tattoo,' chimed in another. A post shared by Samantha (@samantharuthprabhuoffl) The tattoo was significant because Ye Maaya Chesave was the film that marked Samantha's debut as a lead actor back in 2010. It was also the film that introduced her to Naga Chaitanya, the film's male lead. The two began dating soon after and eventually tied the knot in 2017. Many fans credit the film as the 'cupid' between the two. However, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha separated in 2020, and their divorce was finalised in 2021. Fans are speculating that Samantha had the YMC tattoo removed now because of that. But others theorised that Samantha had simply covered the tattoo up for the ad as it was a brand campaign. Earlier this year, fans had noted that Samantha had already begun work on removing another tattoo of hers with a Naga Chaitanya link. 'Looks like Samantha is finally getting her tattoo removed. This was a matching tattoo with Chay.. it means 'Create your own reality,'' Reddit noted in May after her wrist tattoo appeared faded. In April 2022, Samantha had addressed her regret for getting tattooed in an AMA with fans. A fan asked her, 'Some tattoo ideas you'd love to try some day.' Samantha posted a video in reply on her Instagram Stories and said with clear, strong words, 'You know the one thing I'd tell my younger self is never ever get a tattoo. Never. Never ever. Ever, get a tattoo.' She was smiling throughout the video.

'Anora' star Mikey Madison was almost in Star Wars? Here's what we know
Mikey Madison Mikey Madison , the breakout sensation of 'Anora' is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand names in the film industry. With an Oscar under her belt and accolades like a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award in her name, the 26-year-old actress is now a top contender for high-profile projects. But in an alternate timeline, Madison could have been headed not to the gritty streets of indie cinema but to the stars literally. As per a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, Madison was in serious consideration for a role in Shawn Levy 's upcoming project, which is also expected to star Ryan Gosling . While the casting never reached the final stages, sources revealed that discussions were indeed happening and the excitement around her potential involvement had been swirling for months within Hollywood circles. Levy and Lucasfilm's fresh take piqued Madison's interest Director Shawn Levy has been developing a new Star Wars installment with Lucasfilm since 2022. In a recent podcast appearance, Levy discussed his ambition to depart from the franchise's familiar tropes. 'I don't want to make a film that feels like a rerun,' he shared, hinting at a storyline that veers away from the timeline-heavy narratives fans have come to expect. That creative pivot seems to align perfectly with Madison's current artistic direction. After her breakthrough in 'Anora,' which debuted at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, she has been carefully choosing roles that challenge the norm. Her interest in this galaxy spanning saga may have stemmed from that same desire to explore unexpected, genre-defying stories. From Tarantino to horror hits, Madison's choices have always surprised Before 'Anora' catapulted her into the spotlight, Madison already had notable roles in films like Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and 2022's 'Scream 5.' Known for taking on unconventional, risk taking roles, her near miss with Star Wars adds another intriguing layer to her evolving career. She also considered a part in Alejandro Landes' Reptilia, a romantic fantasy involving a mermaid and a dental hygienist, according to The Hollywood Reporter. These varied choices prove Madison isn't afraid to venture into strange, bold territory, whether grounded in human emotion or set among the stars. Though the role didn't materialize, Madison's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
