Samantha’s YMC tattoo disappears in new video, fans speculate removal post-divorce.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s love story began in 2010 with their debut film Ye Maaya Chesave (YMC). Over the next several years, the couple became one of the most adored celebrity pairs in the South Indian film industry. In 2017, they tied the knot in a grand yet intimate affair with both Hindu and Christian ceremonies. However, the fairy-tale romance came to an end in 2021 when the couple announced their separation after nearly four years of marriage.
During their relationship, Samantha had inked three tattoos in tribute to Chaitanya and their journey together. One of the most prominent among them was the “YMC” tattoo on her upper back, an homage to the film where their love began.
Now, four years after their divorce, fans are speculating that the actress has had the tattoo removed. In a new Instagram video shared by Samantha, she’s seen wearing a burgundy dress with a deep-cut back while writing “Nothing to Hide” on a glass screen. But notably, the YMC tattoo is no longer visible on her back, which has led fans to wonder if she has decided to remove it.
A wave of speculation followed the video’s release. “Samantha got her YMC tattoo removed,” one user commented. Another added, “It’s covered by foundation for the ad.” A third said, “For a moment I thought it was about something else.”
While Naga Chaitanya is now married to actress Sobhita Dhulipala, Samantha has been linked to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of Raj & DK fame. Recent reports even suggested that Samantha and Raj might be considering moving in together. A Pinkvilla source stated, “They are scouting for properties… Raj officially divorced Shhyamali in 2022 and found love in Samantha during Citadel.”
The source also clarified that contrary to some media claims, Raj does not have a daughter; the child he was seen with was actually his creative partner Krishna D.K.’s daughter.
As for the relationship rumours, Samantha’s team told Hindustan Times that reports about her moving in with Raj are false. Neither Samantha nor Raj has officially addressed the dating speculation.
