Earlier today, we brought you the news of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya's separation. After weeks of speculation, Sam and Chaitanya finally broke the silence on the issue. The stars took to social media to announce their separation after four years of marriage.

Reportedly, Naga Chaitanya's father Nagarjuna tried his best to bring the couple together but he failed. Now, Naga Chaitanya's father and Samantha's father-in-law Nagarjuna took to Twitter to react to his son's divorce. He called what happened between them is unfortunate and added that Samantha will always be dear to his family.

Nagarjuna's statement read, "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 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."
