Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke about her decision to turn her pristine white wedding dress into a black one after separating from her husband Naga Chaitanya.
In an interview with Galatta India, Samantha spoke about the harsh labels and stigmas women face after a divorce, like being called “second-hand,” “used,” or having a “wasted life.” She emphasised that these judgments create a lot of difficulty not only for the woman going through the
divorce
but also for her family.
She highlighted that society pressures divorced women to feel like failures, guilty, and ashamed of their past marriage, making the experience challenging for everyone involved.
The actress also shared that while her divorce initially hurt deeply, she eventually chose to embrace it. Instead of letting the situation define her, she decided to own her past and move forward with strength. She explained that her decision to redesign her wedding dress wasn’t about revenge, but about symbolizing resilience. Samantha made it clear that her life didn’t end with the divorce; it marked the beginning of a new chapter, and she’s now happier than ever.
In April 2024, Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a stunning series of photos on her Instagram, donning a black corset dress. What made the dress special was that it was created by repurposing her original white wedding gown. The gown had intricate floral appliqué on the bodice and bust area, showcasing a blend of creativity and personal significance.
